Cable cars

Cable cars, gondolas and funiculars — Savoie's high mountains without the crampons.

Fifteen documented lifts, from the Tarentaise to the Maurienne: access, verified prices, and what you actually find at the top.

The summits served are among the highest in Europe you can reach without walking: the Cime Caron at 3,200 m, whose panorama Les 3 Vallées name outright — Mont Blanc, Grande Casse, the Jorasses — and the Aiguille Rouge at 3,226 m, the highest point of the Les Arcs area.

Only one free ride in the whole corpus: the Solaise gondola in Val-d'Isère, free for pedestrians. That is unusual, and the page says so — with the source, and the advice to double-check at the ticket office.

Summer seasons are short, often early July to late August, and the last ascent is not the last descent. Every page gives verified dates and times, and flags it when sources contradict each other.

Frequently asked questions

Is any lift free in summer?
Yes, exactly one of those documented here: the Solaise gondola in Val-d'Isère, free for pedestrians — the posted prices only concern mountain bikes. It is the only free ride found, worth double-checking on site precisely because it is unusual.
Where can you see Mont Blanc from?
From the Cime Caron, at 3,200 m above Val Thorens: Les 3 Vallées name Mont Blanc, the Grande Casse and the Jorasses among the visible summits. Other pages only claim it when their official source does.
Do the lifts run all year?
No. Summer seasons are short — often early July to late August — and dates vary from one lift to the next. Every page gives the verified period, the timetable and the last ascent.
