I am not sure where the James Bond movie was filmed were they catch a cable car to a mountain top, but this cable car trip evokes memories of that. An incredible journey. I would not miss this for my life. May be difficult if you are scared of hieghts, but the reward at the end will make it worth... More

This must be amongst the best mountain lift in Europe. Stop halfway for a beer, watch the car go up then rejoin for the trip of a lifetime! More

The view is simply amazing, but it is very very very cold up there. We had the chance to see some snow falling! For us who live in a tropical country was such a nice thing! Be careful for slipping floor, wear appropriate shoes and clothes and then have fun! I reccomend you buy the Chamonix pass, which can take... More

I take out of town visitors here a lot because we get to see the best of the Alps - beautiful views of the valley, the cable car experience, coffee at 3000+m altitude... and once we're back in Chamonix, we can enjoy good food too :) 35 EUR full ride up and down. More

The scenery at the top of Aiguille du Midi is breath taking. Dress warmly if going in the winter and allow a couple of hours for the round trip. The cost is around 45 euro round trip but worth it for the absolutely stunning, unforgettable views of the Alps. More

Not very cheap at 45euro but great views feeling out of gas due to thin air. The restaurant at the top is quite basic, as expected More

This is one amazing trip in a gondala to what I consider to be one of the most scenic views in the world, looking down on the top of the Alps. Wrap up warm and if you're coming from Geneva or Annemasse be prepared for a long day. Visdit the restauarant (not the cafe) at the top and have a... More
