Make Yourselves Comfortable. Your Ascent Starts Here. the Way to the Top of Italy Make yourselves comfortable. Your ascent starts here. The way to the top of Italy Skyway Monte Bianco is not just a cable car; it is an idea, bringing man closer to the mountain and the sky, expanding horizons, going beyond borders and you are the mind and the heart where this idea can take root and thrive. Climbing the great mountain, right up to where you can see forever. Unequalled scenery just waiting to be discovered, living nature to encounter. The Monte Bianco Those who come close to Mont Blanc have always felt its powerful energy, so much so that it is known as the ‘Holy Mountain’. The highest peak in Italy at 4,810 m, it is the symbol of the ancestral union between man and mountain and the guardian of the extraordinary story of mountaineering, of men who have experienced altitude. Here, everything changes if you learn to read the euphoria of its peaks, and the men who attempt to conquer it end up conquering themselves.

On Skyway, the traveller becomes a Skynaut. The cable car stations are the chapters in the new myth of the Skynauts; a limit to go beyond, a mountain to meet, a sky to walk in. It was 1957. Dino Lora Totino was an extraordinary man. Or rather, an extraordinary engineer. The ordinary did not appeal to him, his ambitions were far-reaching and without doubt bold. Dino was brave enough to look up and, from Courmayeur, he pointed out the summit of Mont Blanc and imagined a system that nobody before him had dared to imagine, a lift of some sort that would let everybody visit that geography in the sky. And he designed it. 1941 1947 1957 A wonderful folly that The opening of the Mont Mont Blanc linked the border became reality, work Blanc cable car revealed between Italy and France, started to stretch the first the secret of these high thanks to the spectacular cable over Mont Blanc. mountains to anyone Glacier Cable Car that joins wanting to discover it. Pointe Helbronner with Aiguille du Midi. It was 30 May 2015. Technology and Italian architecture for an engineering feat of international importance. Transparent cabins, stations designed in steel and glass, energy recuperation and protection of the environment—all elements that make this achievement memorable. A building site that broke records, not only for its impossible-to-reach altitudes and extreme conditions, but also for its fast completion in just four years, from 2011 to 2015. The collective intelligence of 300 people combined with skilled manual labour, even at -40°C. The Cabins The semi-spherical cabins, with a capacity of 80 people on the first stage and 75 on the second, rotate 360° to give an all-round view of the surrounding peaks. These rotating cabins take about 10 minutes to reach the first station Pavillon |The Mountain and the same time to arrive at the second station Pointe Helbronner | The Sky. Courmayeur 1 The Valley first station The bottom station for the Skyway Monte Bianco is just a stone’s throw from the town of Courmayeur. This is the start of the cable that links the valley to the sky and the beginning of a vertical adventure, discovering Mont Blanc, the Holy Mountain.

A natural observatory from where you can admire over forty peaks more than 4000 meters high, from Mont Blanc to Cervino, the perennial snow that lasts even during the summer and roped climbing parties looking to conquer the first mountains ever scaled by man. Everything here is incredible. Higher food. This mountain is not something you feel only with your eyes as they seek the scenery out there. It is also in your nose, on your palate. Here, every dish reveals a mystery, every flavour is knowledge, every aroma a bridge between today’s food and wine and the vitality of local nature. The highest event in Italy. The quality of an event depends on different sources and one of these is the possibility of fully enjoying a wonderful setting.

Merchandising Gift a memory of Mont Blanc The best way to remember an experience is to take home a small souvenir, to jog your memory and relive that magical place. Treat yourself or others to gifts filled with all this mountain’s majesty and energy: reliving the emotion with gifts, box experiences, recreating its aromas with candles and room fragrances, remembering its beauty with Mont Blanc headscarves, reading its history and words with the mountain book and notebook, feeling the heat of its sun with mountain sun creams. The most ecological cable car of the world Acting responsibly means making sustainability one of the aspects considered in everyday choices, paying attention to the entire service supply chain and all potentially involved parties. This can be effectively described in the sustainability report.

  • Permanet Final Conference
    PermaNET Permafrost Long-term Monitoring Network Final Conference 2nd Circular June 28, 2011 – July 1, 2011 Centre de Congrés, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France The PermaNET project Permafrost is highly sensitive to climatic changes. Permafrost degradation and related natural hazards affect traffic routes, tourism areas, settlements and infrastructures. The main problem is a lacking strategy for the consideration of these newly observed specific impacts of climate change in risk prevention and territorial development. With the joint development of a common strategy for dealing with permafrost and related hazards under changing climatic conditions and the creation of an Alpine- wide monitoring network the project aims at preventing natural hazards, at contributing to sustainable territorial development and at the implementation of good governance practices. Results of the PermaNET project are an Alpine-wide permafrost monitoring network, a permafrost map for the entire Alpine Space guidelines for the consideration of permafrost in natural hazard and risk management guidelines for the consideration of permafrost in water resources management. These results will be presented at the final project conference. The Alpine Space permafrost monitoring network PermaNET collected metadata of the most important permafrost monitoring sites and compiled it into a standardized permafrost monitoring network. On key monitoring sites, new monitoring stations have been installed and instrumented. PermaNET provides recommendations for policy-makers for building up national monitoring networks on national and regional scale and a handbook for the installation and maintenance of an Alpine-wide permafrost monitoring network with standards for data acquisition. Alpine Space permafrost map PermaNET collected and compiled permafrost evidences into an inventory of permafrost evidences and elaborated an Alpine-wide map of the permafrost distribution.

COX -,HE English July of I955, a month of cloudless skies and baro­ meter set fair, had made it difficult to believe the unfavourable reports about conditions in the Alps. Wilfrid Noyce and I, going on ead of the others, left London airport on July 29 in hot sunshine, to land at Geneva in a downpour which confined passengers to the plane until an issue· of red umbrellas enabled them to make exit two by two, as if from the ark. The speed with which the umbrellas were produced suggested that the routine was familiar. At Les Contamines, where we arrived the same evening, it was evident that there had been plenty of such weather, and storms never seemed very far away during the next two and a half weeks. But if it was a highly unsettled season, it was at least not an impossible one. like I954· Climbing of some kind was nearly always practicable, but it was never certain from day to day of what kind it would be. Changes were rapid and unforeseen. Thick cloud and depressing rain at night would suddenly give place to clear starlight. A glorious morning would turl) to snow before midday. It was an unpredictable year to have picked for a season in the neighbour­ hood of Mont Blanc. Noyce and I spent our first day on Mont Tondu and the western Aiguille des Lanchettes, returning in the evening to Les Contamines. There we were joined by John Hunt, who had.

  • Val Ferret Pilot Action Region Grandes Jorasses
    Chapter Val Ferret Pilot Action Region: Grandes Jorasses Glaciers - An Open-Air Laboratory for the Development of Close-Range Remote Sensing Monitoring Systems Paolo Perret, Jean Pierre Fosson, Luca Mondardini and Valerio Segor Abstract The Val Ferret valley (Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy) was included as a Pilot Action Region (PAR) of the GreenRisk4Alps project since it is both a famous tourist location and a high-risk area for all types of mass movement processes. Typical natural hazards that endanger this PAR are debris flows and avalanches, sometimes connected to ice collapses from the glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif. Thanks to the steep sides of the valley and widespread alluvial channels, these events can reach the valley floor, where public roads, villages and touristic attractions are located. This article presents the main challenges of natural hazard management in the Val Ferret PAR, as well as the role of forestry and protective forests in the Aosta Valley Autonomous Region. As an example of good practice, the monitoring systems of the Planpincieux and Grandes Jorasses glaciers are presented. Recently, these glaciers have become an open-air laboratory for glacial monitoring techniques. Many close- range surveys have been conducted here, and a permanent network of monitoring systems that measure the surface deformation of the glaciers is currently active. Keywords: Val Ferret, protective forest, Mont Blanc, Aosta Valley, monitoring, glacial hazards, remote sensing 1. Introduction Courmayeur (1,224 m asl) is a small mountain town located in the Aosta Valley Autonomous Region, in northwestern Italy. It is a famous tourist destination whose fame and history are largely related to the presence of the Mont Blanc massif, which is one of the most renowned attractions in the Alps.
