Day Trip · Valle d'Aosta
Skyway
Monte Bianco
Touch the sky above the Alps
One of the most spectacular experiences in Europe. The Skyway Monte Bianco is a futuristic cable car that takes visitors from the Italian side of Mont Blanc up to 3,466 metres above sea level, offering breathtaking 360° views over glaciers and some of the highest peaks in the Alps.
Starting from the village of Entrèves, just outside Courmayeur, the journey itself is part of the experience: the cabins slowly rotate during the ascent, allowing visitors to enjoy the full panorama from every angle. For many tourists visiting Turin, this becomes one of the most unforgettable day trips possible.
