Téléphériques des Glaciers de La Meije
The cable cars take you to the Col des Ruillans. At 3211m, at the level of the Girose glacier, you will admire a magnificent panorama with the Meije within reach (3983m) and in the distance, endless peaks from Vercors to Mont-Blanc.
The climb is carried out in 2 sections from 1450 to 3200m in approximately 30 minutes. At 3200m, mountain restaurant, orientation tables and grandiose panorama.
At 2400m: there are pretty meadows for a panoramic picnic, a beautiful walk to the Puy Vachier lake and the Chancel refuge.
A magnificent panorama at the foot of the glaciers to discover with family or friends. Upon arrival, orientation tables and a high-altitude chalet restaurant with its large wooden terrace will welcome you. You will find deckchairs to rest in the sun, soak up the High Mountains, admire this magnificent breathtaking landscape; relax!
Mountain biking and hiking routes are available in summer.
Beneath your feet, the Girose Glacier!
The overview lets the eye wander, from the Belledonne massif to Thabor, via the Aravis and Mont Blanc.
360° of a breathtaking view! Roped up and assisted by the advice of a mountain professional, the gaping crevasses of the glacier can be approached (Walking outings on the Girose Glacier organized by the Bureau des Guides).
In winter, the cable car provides access to a unique off-piste area.
/!\ High Altitude is strongly not recommended for children under 2 years old /!\
