For trips of 2 to 21 days, you’ll need a Mont Blanc MultiPass. 

This pass gives you access to an incredible range of terrain in and around the Chamonix valley, including: 

• Aiguille du Midi (not including Panoramic Mont-Blanc - Pointe Helbronner)
• Montenvers - Mer de Glace
• Tramway du Mont-Blanc
• Skyway (Italy)
• Brevent-Flegere, Grands Montets, Balme - Le Tour / Vallorcine, Les Houches - Saint Gervais
• Megève - Rochebrune - Mont d’Arbois area
• Les Contamines
• Portes du Mont-Blanc (Jaillet gondola, except 4-season sled)

You’ll also get bonuses, including: 

• money off cinema tickets at Cinema Vox in town
• a free session at the 4D cinema at the Aiguille du Midi
• guided tours at the Aiguille du Midi
• 50% off the Cormayeur cable car in Italy
   

It depends whether you want to use your pass every day (consecutively), or only on certain days, for example for 4 days over a 2 week period.

Buy your tickets at least 3 days in advance to get money off the prices above. For example, 2 days at €90.30 instead of €95. 

You’ll have to pay €3 for a hands-free pass to use at the turnstiles. This is non-refundable, but you can recharge the card on subsequent visits to Chamonix.

When your pass expires

If you buy a non-consecutive Mont Blanc MultiPass, you’ll need to use it by a certain date.

You can buy passes online for:

• up to 9 consecutive (back-to-back) days
• 2 or 3 non-consecutive days (to be used in a 7 day period)

For all other passes, you’ll need to go to one of the lift pass offices, or the kiosk at the Montenvers railway cash desk.

If you’re coming for 10 days or more

Make sure you take a passport-sized photo with you when you buy your lift pass.
 

Children under the age of 5 can use the lifts for free. You’ll still need a €3 hands-free card to use at the turnstiles, but this can be used on subsequent trips to Chamonix.  

You can buy a hands-free card from any of the lift pass offices in resort.

If you have children aged 5 to 14, a family lift pass is a great way to save money on your holiday to Chamonix.

With a family lift pass:

• 2 adults and your first child (5 to 14 years) pay full price
• your second child’s pass is discounted by up to 70% 
• up to 3 additional children go free

Staff at the lift pass offices are super helpful. Always ask how else you can save money on your lift pass if you're in Chamonix for a family holiday.
