What is Mont-Bochor Cable Car
The Mont-Bochor cable car climbs from the village of Pralognan-la-Vanoise to the Mont Bochor promontory, where an orientation table stands at 2,023 m according to secondary sources. It is the most direct mechanised access to the Col Rosset and Col de la Vanoise trails, one of the gateways to the national park.
Two timetable details govern a visit. First a midday break: the machine stops from 12:45 to 13:30. Second, the June pattern: from 6 to 26 June 2026 it runs only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, going daily only from 27 June until 30 August.
The tourist office publishes no prices on its lifts page: the figures circulating elsewhere come from aggregators and are not repeated here.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When does the Mont-Bochor cable car run in summer 2026?
From 27 June to 30 August 2026, daily. From 6 to 26 June, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only.
What are the hours?
08:15 to 12:45, then 13:30 to 17:10. There is indeed a 45-minute break at midday.
How high does the cable car go?
Secondary sources place the orientation table at 2,023 m on the promontory. No source gives the altitude of the top station itself, and the official page gives none at all.
How much does the ride cost?
The tourist office's official page publishes no prices and points to a separate ticketing site. Figures circulating elsewhere are unconfirmed and are not repeated here.
Can you hike from the top?
Yes: the Col Rosset and Col de la Vanoise trails leave from the summit, the latter being a gateway to the Vanoise national park. Park regulations are documented by none of the sources consulted.
