Summer Lifts in Chamonix
Discover the Chamonix summer lifts & areas
There are six separate lift systems spread throughout the Chamonix Valley, all offering access to a wide variety of activities. Familiarise yourself with the lift system by taking a look below where you'll find information on access and restrictions and more information about each lift station.
In summer, the lift pass prices and the lift pass options are slightly different, with some lifts open to pedestrians or mountain bikers only and others open to both - it is worth checking which lifts you can use before setting off. Paragliders also have access to a number of lifts throughout the summer.
Open in both the winter and summer seasons you can use the lift system to access all the different areas of the Chamonix Valley, giving you the opportunity to enjoy all the activities the mountains have to offer.
Lifts will stop running in the case of high winds and bad weather, but you can check on this before you head out by looking at the live lift status.
