Courmayeur is a town and comune in northern Italy, in the autonomous region of Aosta Valley. At an elevation of 1,224 m (4,016 ft) above sea level, it is located at the foot of the southern side of Mont Blanc, at 4,810 m (15,781 ft) the highest point in the Alps and western Europe (see Seven Summits), and is crossed by the Dora Baltea river. Courmayeur shares administration of Mont Blanc with its neighboring commune of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in France, and is consequently able to claim the title of highest commune in Italy. Courmayeur also shares access to the glacial ski run of the Vallée Blanche with another French town, Chamonix, which sits at the opposite, northern, side of the Mont Blanc massif.

Skyway Monte Bianco is much more than a cableway to reach 3,466 meters. It’s an idea: drawing man closer to the mountain and sky, broadening our horizons, overcoming boundaries. Beautiful landscapes to explore and the sky to meet.
During a very hot summer 2018 when everyday temperatures reached almost 35 degrees Celsius we were searching for some refreshment so we decided to make a trip into mountains with a cable car “Skyway Monte Bianco”. With one ticket costing almost 50 Euros (both ways) it was not a cheap attraction, but it was definitely worth this money. We were lucky with the weather what allowed us to enjoy splendid mountain panoramas. Most of the time the top of the Mont Blanc was hidden in the clouds but there were many other beautiful views we could admire from the open panorama deck or from the restaurant in the covered gallery one level below. The terrain around the upper station was covered with snow and the outside temperature at that height was below 0 Centigrade what together made right conditions for getting some refreshment during that hot summer. Of course we were equipped with warm jackets but we were happy to have a cup of coffee sitting inside the upper station and watching the mountains around through glass windows. At the lower mid-station it was much warmer therefore we spent much time walking outside.
