Great discovery of this brand new tram. We took it at Saint Gervais station and 40 minutes later we arrived at Mont Lachat at 2100 meters above sea level, the Eagle's Nest 2370 meters is not yet accessible.
Several stops, starting points for numerous hikes.
Several activities are offered
The cars are all new and easy to access...

we did an A/R between noon and two in total tourist mode we subtracted a little with hikers. mountain bikes etc:). That whatever this train is for everyone and quite suitable for everyone.
Beautifully modernized by the region, you have to take it (and the cost) to go up to see the landscape. we stopped at Bellevue which bears his name and drink a beer at the restaurant altitude.
and we went back down.
It's fun... It's expensive to say, I think.

Very beautiful day spent in the morning in Chamonix under a blazing sun.
Then after dinner, departure for Fayet station to take the tram at 3 p.m. For once the best would be to be able to take it around 10 a.m. by booking online further in advance. To arrive at the Eagle's Nest you will have to wait until 2025. Because of long-term work after Mont Lachat located at more than 2100 m. Don't forget an explanatory guide on the tram. Magnificent views along the way.

Too expensive to go so far! Due to the snow, we were only able to do half the journey but for the same price as if we had been able to do the full climb! This is not normal, we are not responsible for the weather and the cost should not be the same and be adapted accordingly! Very expensive price per person considering what there is to do in winter!

A must for lovers of the mountains and the Mont Blanc massif. Check-out from the station of ST Gervais, pleasant welcome and the station offers a small restaurant and pleasant terrace waiting for the train. Possibility to park for free in front of the station but attention limited places. Beautiful trip that takes you to the top of the mountains at more than 2000 meters. Impressive views. To do

We booked online - end Aug and beginning Sept there are fewer trains and a much less choice of times to book online. You can get a good deal if you know a couple of weeks in advance which slot you want. A very exciting ascent and marvellous view of the glacier. The possible walks - one descent to the next station were not described very well so we only went to see the glacier and have a picnic. The descent became more monotonous!

We were so glad we took the cogwheel train up the mountain. We didn't realize how long the entire journey was-1 hour 15 minutes each way. We went late in the day, so we didn't have time to hike around or stop at the "refuge" at the top for refreshments. I suggest going early, bring water and snacks as you will be on the train a long time.
The inclines that the train ascends/descends are very steep and make for an unforgettable experience. The views of the mountains slowly unwind before you. It is a very relaxing trip and the views from the summit are spectacular. Definitely glad that we did this!

Train ride with very nice view, comfortable and clean train. Small but quality food in Bellevue. Nice walks accessible to children 6 and 8 years old. Unfortunately the weather was not with us, and too bad that very close parking is not available.

I drove to Mont Blanc with my father to experience the Tramway. Lots of beautiful images on the internet. However, the first 40 minutes were disappointing due to the fact that you only drive between houses and pine trees. Once right at the end, the views became stunning!

So many ways…. First of all you get there and are told to get apretura ticket! Immediately we get in line as i have bad Knees and there is absolutely nothing to do there! The scenery is beautiful but after 10 minutes there is nothing else! No food no bathrooms…. We are told the next available tickets down is 2.5 hrs later..and suggest we walk down to the next lower stop… which we do! That was a 45 minute walk again lovely if you are in great shape! Finally we make it down the mountain 4.5 hours later…. Arrive 4 minutes late. So the only hourly train left about 2 minutes before we got there!

Bonjour est ce que les gros chiens sont autorisés dans le tramway du mont blanc et pour la randonnée jusqu'au début du glacier?merci
Written September 5, 2022
Bonjour, pour ma part le tramway était bondé il y avait plusieurs chiens dans le wagon ils étaient de taille moyenne ( border collie )voir petite ( chihuahua) mais ils n’étaient pas vraiment à l’aise. La montée était quand même d’une durée d’une heure.
Nous nous sommes arrêtés au nid d’aigle et le chemin est praticable pour un chien qui est habitué.
Bonne visite à vous

Bonjour. Lorsque nous arrivons en haut qu’elle est le délai moyen pour la redescente? J’ai réservé pour le train de 11 heures. Ayant un impératif horaire à 16h à Chamonix serais dans les temps pour récupérer le train sncf? Merci pour vos réponses.
Written August 17, 2022
Bonjour, vous pouvez réserver votre retour dès votre arrivée en haut (voir les horaires prévus). Mais si mes souvenirs sont bons pour descendre pour 16H à Chamonix cela va vous faire faire vraiment aller-retour sans profiter longtemps des paysages et des différents espace possible en haut.. Je vous aurais volontiers conseiller une montée un peu plus matinale si vous pouvez encore changer. Amicalement

Written August 23, 2021
Bjr
Non il n est pas possible de descendre sur Bellevue vous pouvez par contre au retour descendre à Bellevue et continuez à pieds jusqu au col de voza et reprendre le train après pour retourner à Saint Gervais ou Le fayet. Au nid d aigle il est juste possible de redescendre vers bionnassay mais délicat avec des enfants.
J espère que mes explications vous seront utiles.

Bonjour, la durée du trajet depuis Le Fayet jusqu'au Nid d'Aigle est d'environ 50 minutes. En période d'affluence (août), le temps d'attente en caisse pour l'achat des billets peut être un peu plus long, et nous vous invitons à arriver avec 30 minutes d'avance sur l'horaire de train choisi. Salutations.

Bonjour,
Le Tramway du Mont-Blanc permet d'accéder jusqu'au Nid d'Aigle. Il est tout à fait possible de descendre à l'un des arrêts intermédiaires (Le Col de Voza ou Bellevue).
Vous pouvez retrouver des idées de randonnées sur notre site internet (montblancnaturalresort rubrique "info station" puis "activités"), notamment le "sentier du glacier de Bionnassay: au départ du Nid d'Aigle le sentier ramène ensuite sur Bellevue" (attention passages escarpés avec échelles). Les indications données sur notre site internet et sur nos brochures pour cette randonnée concernent la descente, mais cet itinéraire peut se faire également à la montée.
A bientôt sur nos sites et domaines.
Bien cordialement,
