An unforgettable climb in a breathtaking setting

Not to be missed The legendary ascent to the heart of the Alps

From Chamonix, the Aiguille du Midi takes you up to 3,842 metres in just a few minutes thanks to France’s highest cable car. As soon as you get on board, the magic happens: the fir trees fade away, the snow becomes omnipresent, the walls get closer… At the top, a spectacular panorama of the Mont-Blanc range awaits you. The panoramic terraces, suspended walkways and picture windows plunge you into a timeless setting. Whether you’re coming with the family or with friends, you’ll be in complete awe. The Aiguille du Midi is more than just a visit: it’s a moment suspended in time, facing the infinite.

Experience Step into the Void

The Aiguille du Midi is more than just a panorama: it’s a sensory adventure. Try the mythical Pas dans le Vide, a glass cage suspended above the void, with over 1,000 metres of freefall beneath your feet. The thrill is intense, with vertigo, shivers and euphoria. For the more contemplative, the steel galleries, exhibitions and interior viewpoints offer a gentle approach to the high mountains. It’s an immersion in a high-altitude universe, impressive but accessible to all. Once you’re up there, time stops… and you never want to come down again.
