Skyway Monte Bianco connects Courmayeur with Pavillon du Mont Frêty and Punta Helbronner. Visiting the panoramic stations and going out on the glacier are two different things: a lift ticket does not include a guided excursion.
Plan your visit
First choose the station you want to reach, then compare the tickets available for the same date and route. Check how much time you will have at the top, the last ride down, the rules for changing your booking and any extra services. The Panoramic Mont Blanc crossing to the Aiguille du Midi needs to be checked separately.
Our guide to Skyway tickets and visits compares the stops in practical terms and lists the checks to make before you buy, with the official sources. For dates in September, October and November, see also the autumn 2026 calendar.
Check before you go
See the opening times and access information on the operator’s website. An announced date does not guarantee the lift will run if the weather is bad. The photo is an archive image and does not show conditions on the day.
