Advantages: Spectacular veiws, rapid cable car access. Disadvantages: Price
...The Spectacular vision of the Mont Blanc rising before you and the enormous collecting snow bowl which feeds the glacier will both dazzle and feel you with awe. I reccommend you try to go on a cloudless day. The brightness of the snow against the skyline and mountain will get your cameras clicking. The cloud can often build up around the mountain summits and if you are not careful you will find you have a very restricted view.
Worth mentioning is ... ...scantilt clad tourists venturing up in the cable car in the middle of summer, only to see them again at the top, blue with cold. The top cable car stops at over 3800 metres and even on the hottest day the temperature will normally be below freezing, (its a glacier after all !). The wind can be raw and make the wind chill seem even lower. It is not uncommon to have several feet of new smow on the platforms in summer after a storm.
There is a bar/cafe ...
