Skyway Monte Bianco is more than just a cable car: it’s an experience. Even the youngest visitors can enjoy the journey, discover its secrets, and appreciate the surrounding Alpine nature.
During the ascent from Courmayeur to Punta Helbronner, the highest point in Italy, young explorers can stop at the intermediate station of Pavillon at 2,173 metres to:
- have fun on the small climbing wall and feel the thrill of great mountaineers scaling the peaks of Mont Blanc
- play on the pond with the raft, especially when the temperatures are warmer in July and August
- admire the sculptures of wild animals created by the Valdostan sculptor Siro Vierin
- observe the flora of the Saussurea Botanical Garden, with around 900 species of flowers and plants blooming throughout the summer.
Fun continues in the “Marmot Den,” an underground play-and-learn trail inspired by the world of marmots, where children and adults can explore tunnels, secret passages, and hidden spaces as if inside a real burrow. Here they discover the rhythms, habits, hibernation, and seasonal cycle of this Alpine animal. “The Den” is also a space for movement and imagination, where you can climb, crawl, hide, and pop out from a transparent window in the meadow to observe the mountain from the marmots’ point of view.
The adventure reaches its peak at the Punta Helbronner station at 3,466 meters: standing on the highest point in Italy to admire Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains.
