Ski lifts at the ski resort Les Houches/​Saint-Gervais – Prarion/​Bellevue (Chamonix)

The quickest way to reach the ski area from the valley is by taking the eight-person gondola lift Les Houches-Prarion. Another cable car transports winter sports enthusiasts to Bellevue. Within the ski area itself, there are eight four-seater chairlifts and several drag lifts. Unfortunately, the chairlifts do not have weather protection covers. From Saint-Gervais, you can take the cog railway Tramway du Mont Blanc to Col de Voza every hour. However, a separate ticket is required for the Tramway du Mont Blanc.
