VerticAlp Emosson takes you to Châtelard, a village in the Trient Valley, in the heart of Espace Mont-Blanc, to the top of Emosson Dam, the second-largest water reservoir in Switzerland.
In less than an hour, using the three rail systems forming an unparalleled tourism park, you will disembark at an altitude of 1,965 m, facing the magnificent panorama of the legendary Mont-Blanc.
Once there, use any of the many marked trails to the Vieux-Emosson Dam to spot dinosaur tracks or just enjoy the countryside and a remarkable natural site.
THE CHÂTELARD FUNICULAR
The departure point of your adventure. Two new panoramic carriages take you on an amazing vertical trip, with a maximum slope of 87%, making the two carriages the steepest funicular in the world! During the ascent the view opens onto an increasingly grandiose Alpine landscape, until you arrive at Montuires station, 700 m higher.
THE PANORAMIC TRAIN
On a track winding up a mountainside, the train takes you through forests and tunnels to the foot of Emosson Dam. The panoramic train offers magnificent views of the entire Mont-Blanc massif while overlooking the deep Bouqui Canyon.
THE MINIFUNICULAR
The third of these amazing systems is a two-carriage monorail that takes you to the open Emosson heights overlooking the lake.
