Facts and practical information

La Flégère is the side of the Aiguilles Rouges overlooking the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley to the north.

The valley was connected to the Flégère by a 60-seat cable car. The latter has been replaced by gondolas, which will be in service in December 2019. Their departure point is located in the village of Les Praz de Chamonix. The bottom station of the gondola at La Flégère is located at an altitude of 1,877 m. A refuge is located next to the top station.
