Mont Blanc Tramway, Heritage railway in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France
The Mont Blanc Tramway connects Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc to the Nid d'Aigle station through a rack railway system spanning multiple elevation points.
The railway construction started in 1906 after the Haute-Savoie General Council approved Henri Duportal's proposal, leading to its official opening in 1909.
Three trains named Anne la verte, Jeanne la rouge, and Marie la bleue transport visitors through French Alpine landscapes to skiing and hiking destinations.
The tramway operates from December to March for winter sports access and during summer months with multiple daily departures from Le Fayet station.
The railway climbs from 792 meters at Le Fayet through several winter resorts to reach Bellevue station at 1,800 meters elevation.
