    Extraordinary experience to recommend, despite full tickets are expensive: 56 euros per person with online booking, 61 euros buying them at the ticket office, 39 euros with early booking, but you need to think about it well in advance, almost impossible to find and not changeable. You can reach the large departure yard by convenient free bus from Courmayeur. The cabin seats 80 people, subject to the booking time. You stop at the Pavillion and change means, up to the top, where you can only stay for a certain amount of time. Up there, at Helbronner Point, at an altitude of over 3400 meters, especially if the weather conditions are good, the eyes do not cease to fill with beauty. Wonderful.

    Unique and priceless experience! The high cost of tickets is rewarded by the beauty and immensity of the landscape. You arrive by free shuttle from Courmayeur for those who do not want to go by car, you can book online even just before boarding, to assess the weather conditions, saving a little '. The climbs do not last long, even my husband who suffers from dizziness, made it without major problems. The roof of Europe is worth seeing: exciting! At the Helbronner station you can stay a maximum of an hour and a half, at the Pavillon station, lower, you can stay as long as you want.

    Experience to do at least once in a lifetime! A cutting-edge system and projected towards the future, with the cabin that rotates on itself during the climb allowing you a 360-degree view. The expense per person round trip is not cheap (56€ per adult), but once you get high in Punta Helbronner you realize how much it was worth the expense! The climb includes the stage to Pavillon, and then climb with a second Helbronner pointed cabin. We were lucky enough to find a day with amazing weather, which made it all the more wonderful. In the stop in Pavillon we recommend a visit to the botanical garden (dogs cannot access it), the museum and for those with children not to be missed the part dedicated to them (climbing wall, slides, crossing with the raft in the small pond). You can travel accompanied by our 4-legged friends at a cost of 7€ per dog.

    Great experience!!! A futuristic system is truly avant-garde, the cabin rotating on itself so you can enjoy the view from all angles! Not cheap unfortunately but if you go to Courmayeur you can not expect a low cost treatment. After both stages Pavillon and Punta Helbronner, in the outbound found cloudy an incredible disappointment ... but then we decided to continue to Aiguille Du Midi and the crossing on the glaciers with the Cima del mont blanc next to it was worth all my 4 days holiday in Valle D’Aosta, something absolutely out of the ordinary .... If the weather is good, just do it! The 40€ you will forget after the first 200 m but still remain to enjoy 4800 m about 35 minutes in a 4-seater panoramic cabin

    We booked the experience together with the entrance qc terme San predier, convenient package if you want to visit both. It includes two stations, the first pavillon (h 2173), a panoramic bar where we booked the experience of the aperitif very good and with fair price. Here you can also visit the hangar with the whole history of the plant and going out there is a summer botanical garden and an already wonderful view. Continuing you arrive to Punta Helbronner (h 3466), it seems to touch the sky with a finger, spectacular view but watch the weather forecast and the webcam that is located at the ticket offices at the base. At this station there is also a gift shop, a bar and a restaurant where lunch must be booked in advance.

    The cable car left Courmayeur at the split minute and only a few seconds later it started to rotate on itself to allow everyone to have a 360 degree view. And it's just the beginning of this fantastic experience.... The view you have at Punta Pavillon is wonderful, but it is nothing compared to the one you have once you reach Punta Helbronner! I advise you to take some time to admire the landscape without thinking about the photos, you can enjoy it much more! The indoor spaces are cared for down to the smallest detail and very clean. Naturalistic places don't need any retouching!

    The Skyway Monte Bianco leads to Italy’s highest point, Helbronner Point, 3466 metres above sea level, with a futuristic panoramic cable car. The ascent to the highest peak in Italy begins in Courmayeur at 1300 metres. The ascent is done in 2 stages with a change of gondola midway. The cable cars turn on themselves during the ascent as well as the descent. They offer breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and surrounding peaks such as Matterhorn, Mont Rose and Grand Paradise. The observation deck with the best view of Mont Blanc is above the altitude restaurant, Kartell Bistrot Panoramic. The mountaineering walkway offers a different view of other peaks. Access is to the left of the staircase at Helbronner Point, at the arrival of the Skyway Monte Bianco cable cars. Access to the gondola to the Aiguille du Midi is to the right of the resort stairs, on the same level as the shop. The Refugio Torino below the station is accessible from the elevator on the lower floor of the station. You have to go down to level -3 and take the 150 m tunnel dug into the mountain, to reach the refuge which is really nice to land away from the hustle and bustle of the resort, terrace in the sun when it is not behind the clouds.

    Extraordinary experience with the gondola that rotates on itself allows a wonderful view. Climbing to peak Helbronner is a unique feeling. Impeccable organization very professional staff. Cleanliness and services excellent accommodation facilities. From the peak terrace Helbronner you can enjoy a unique view. Recommendation to cross the internal border at the arrival station and continue by gondola to Chamonix.

    An experience that one must have once in a lifetime. A dream view on top of the world. The cable car to climb is beautiful because the whole way rotates 360 ° and then you can admire the landscape wherever you are. There are two cable cars but to go above Punta Helbronner I recommend you to climb immediately and then descend and take a break admiring nature. The price is right. I would do them again without thinking. In the Feltrineli bookstore they sell a lot of nice things as souvenirs. A pi expensive but they are beautiful things. I bought myself some beautiful magnets and a nice warm sweatshirt. If you stay nearby I highly recommend you go....

    The ascent to Punta Helbronner is worth the trip, the ticket, everything!!! Fantastic and unforgettable day we spent with friends. The staff, both at the ticket offices and at the Pavillon restaurant, were also extremely helpful and very kind! Complimenti ! We will return to repeat the spectacular and exciting experience.

We pre-booked this experience prior to our trip as a group of 8 people. We visited in mid February, UK half term and found this to be a quiet week to visit the Italian Alps. Likewise, it was a very quiet day on the Skyway and we managed to ascend and descend without any queues.

We planned our ascent for 11.30am and at the ticket desk we were advised to visit the Pavillion on the way down and head straight to the top, Punta Hellbroner, where we could stay for two hours.

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking with the cable car rotating throughout the whole journey offering views across the Mont Blanc range and surrounding mountains. At Punta Hellbroner we were able to access viewing decks which offered 360 degrees views which was quite an experience!

As it was my husband’s birthday, we visited the bistro and ordered champagne to celebrate. When the staff realised that it was his birthday, we were given a complimentary birthday cake which was such a nice touch. Everyone was so friendly.

On our descent, we stopped at the Pavilion and sat on the deckchairs, taking in the views and enjoying a drink from the restaurant whilst the sunshine shine around us. Yes, the experience is a little costly for a group, however, I would recommend highly that you visit if you have the opportunity to. We made wonderful memories here.

Climbing to this height causes some dizziness, but not only due to the lack of oxygen: the view is beautiful and exciting, breathtaking. We purchased the climb up to Punta Helbronner with Esselunga points 3200 points + €54 for 2 (it costs less than half the list price, €56 online or €61 at the cash desk per person), we stopped at the intermediate point to do a little ' of photos and visit the various historical areas dedicated to Mont Blanc such as the Hangar museum, and had an aperitif at the bar (wine €6/honest glass). The cable cars are revolving so that anyone can enjoy the view while going up, ascent time approximately 2 minutes. We continued to Punta Helbronner (highly recommended) where we had lunch (after booking at least 7 days in advance on the Skyway website) at the Kartell restaurant: breathtaking view, we had prepaid a €39/person voucher with which, however, you can eat a lot , if you take the right one you will spend less from the card. The prepaid card does not include water, wine and coffee. The Kartell staff is not up to par, there is a rude and unfriendly lady, while the waiter of Moroccan origins is friendly and courteous. If you want a table near the windows, ask him.

What to say? Fantastic landscapes that don't need words to be told. the cable car is an experience, not a means of transport. I recommend continuing your journey by taking the panoramic cable car that takes you to the French side and booking lunch at the restaurant at the top at the end of the skyway. This way you can stay as long as you want. And since there are a lot of people anyway, at least you can calmly see the various terraces, and maybe if you're in the mood take a walk on the glacier (guided of course). The intermediate station is also worth a stop. The milder temperature also allows you to relax and get some sun.

the price (170 euros for a family of 2 adults and 2 children) is amply repaid by the spectacular nature of the experience. there is no queuing, you arrive at the booked time and go up. go straight to Punta Helbronner, because you can only stay there for an hour and a half from the start of the climb and you need all of it to look at the wonderful views (we are at around 3500 meters above sea level, right in front of Mont Blanc). go immediately (I recommend) to the terrace at the top and immediately go up to the small terrace for three people, because then there is a queue there. even the intermediate station on the descent (Pavillon) is beautiful for its landscapes. Here you can also walk with children and visit the botanical garden. the restaurant is also good and all in all cheap given the location

Going up to Punta Hellbronner with this futuristic cable car offers rare emotions. The highest peaks seem within reach and the beauty of the panorama leaves you breathless (perhaps thanks to the rarefied air up high 😉). Of course, the crowds in the month of August do not allow you to enjoy these wonders in peace but that's what it is. The heat of this summer, then, meant that at the intermediate stage of the Pavillion there were already high temperatures, very different from the cold at altitude which, fortunately, was there despite the sun shining in the clear sky. At the Pavillion I found the free visit to the botanical garden very pleasant but also a stop at the restaurant whose windows offer beautiful views of the mountains and Val Veny.

The skyway has a considerable cost but it's all worth it, the emotions you feel on the climb and especially at the top are unique and indescribable. I found everything well organised, the staff is knowledgeable and kind, everything is clean and well managed. I recommend warm clothing and gloves if you want to go outdoors at Punta Helbronner, in addition to the low temperatures there is often very strong wind. High protection sunscreen is also advisable. To eat, if you want to save money, from Punta Helbronner you can access the Torino refuge via a lift and a tunnel and have lunch there at more popular prices, furthermore with a stamp on the ticket you are allowed to stay for more than an hour and a half. A unique experience that I truly recommend doing at least once in your life.

Very careful organization, paid covered parking (also with telepass), you buy the ticket online (but when we got there we discovered that it is also possible to do it on site), and, correctly, before getting on, you are informed about the visibility. In our case they told us that the visibility in Punta Helbronner was not good. Having no other days available, we went up anyway and obviously appreciated first and foremost the view (perfect up to 2800 meters high) as well as the silence of the cabin and its cleanliness (up to the intermediate station the cabin rotates as it climbs, allowing a 360° view °).
At the Pavillon we then change cabins to go up to Punta Helbronner where it is possible to have lunch either in the Kartell refreshment point (more refined also because it has a very panoramic view) or in the Torino refuge (more spartan but equally evocative and also panoramic, where we had polenta and sausage spending €32 for two with a bottle of water); the Torino refuge is accessed by lift and 100m tunnel.
Everything is highly recommended, but after checking the visibility since the ticket has its own cost (€55 up to Punta Helbronner).

The cable car to go up is interesting, as you go up it goes all the way around giving everyone the opportunity to see the panorama. The structure at the Helbronner tip is spectacular, it's a shame that the weather was bad and therefore the visibility was poor. The restaurant where we had lunch is really poor. It's difficult to cook polenta with mushrooms badly, they succeeded and above all compared to the price you pay. Not recommended. The botanical garden is very beautiful

Premise: we took cloudy weather, but it is not the fault of the organizers.
The fault of the manager is not to update the site or put a block that warns that the ticket has expired.
I bought a package at Christmas 2022 and gave it to my sister, activating the first booking told me it was valid until November 2024. We used all 5 trips for various family messes, yesterday 29 June we went because we had the last reservation available. I get to the desk for readiness, it's my name, it's okay, let's go to the turnstile: Ticket expired. We go back to the cash register to do the extension to the figure of ten euros per ticket, otherwise we would have done three hours of driving for nothing. We decided to go up despite the bad weather because I was freaking out. The cashier told me that the package I had purchased was already active when buying online, when instead at the first booking I CLEARLY got the writing that expired in November 2024. He made me do all the moves without an alert about the deadline. So either fix the site and make things transparent, or stop teasing and ripping people off. That said, the cable car and the mountain environment deserve a lot. Restaurant Pavillon good.

The title is their claim.
The climb to Punta Helbronner is unmissable if you look at the Aosta Valley.
Not cheap for sure but absolutely worth it. The view is priceless, breathtaking views.
You can only stay at altitude for 90 minutes but you can stop at the intermediate station as long as you want to visit both the museum of the original cable car and the botanical garden at altitude.
Highly recommended.
