Summer Lifts Open for 2014 in the Chamonix Valley

The Chamonix Valley is a superb location in winter, but in summer, there's even more to do for guests of the Bellevue Alpine Lodge.

Whether your love is hiking, mountain biking, climbing or just enjoying the stunning views, you can now get on the mountains easily.

Lifts Already Open

As of Saturday 14 June, a selection of lifts have now opened in all the following areas:

• Panoramic Mont Blanc - Helbronner
• Brevent / Flegere
• Tour / Col de Balme  
• Bossons chairlift
• Bellevue and Prarion in Les Houches
• The tramway du Mont-Blanc

Lifts opening on 28 June

And from Saturday 28 Jun, both the Grands Montets lift and the Vallorcine gondola will open.

The Vallorcine gondola is just a few minutes from the Bellevue Alpine Lodge and allows you to access the La Balme area and is excellent for mountain biking.

Plus these lifts are open all year...

Don't forget the Aiguille du Midi, Montenvers railway and Les Planards which stay open all year around.
