Each stage of the journey unveils spectacular views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains, making this rail experience popular not only among tourists, but also climbers and hikers. No wonder, as stops along the way serve as starting points for numerous mountain trails and also provide access to the Eagle&#8217;s Nest Refuge, near the railway&#8217;s end point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#d2eeff\"><strong>\ud83d\udee4\ufe0f <\/strong>N<strong>ot far from here<\/strong>.

The 12.4-kilometer line, linking Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet to the Nid d\u2019Aigle, overcomes a height difference of 1792 meters thanks to a Strub rack system. With a maximum gradient of 24%, most of the journey is equipped with rack rails. The electrification of the line ensures a smooth ascent through steep terrain, promising an adventure that&#8217;s both thrilling and serene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one-hour journey from Fayet to Bellevue is operated by the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc, offering four or five trips per day. Travellers can also continue their exploration beyond the railway terminus, where alpine refuges await them for an extended adventure on the roof of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Did you know? <\/strong>The Mont Blanc Tramway was featured in the film \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allocine.fr\/film\/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=50843.html\" data-penci-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Malabar Princess<\/a><\/strong>\u201d (2003) by Gilles Legrand.
