Lifts/cable cars Les Houches/​Saint-Gervais – Prarion/​Bellevue (Chamonix)

The quickest way to get up to the ski resort from the valley is with the 8-person Les Houches-Prarion gondola lift. An additional cable car brings guests up to the Bellevue. In the ski resort itself, there are 8 quad chairlifts and a few pommel lifts. Unfortunately, the chairlifts do not have weather protectors. From Saint-Gervais, you can take the Tramway du Mont Blanc cog railway up to the Col de Voza (departs every hour). However, you will need to purchase a separate ticket for the Tramway.
