Well, the construction of the original aerial tram/cable car system had begun in 1949, and was inaugurated in 1955; the current one (system) has existed since (was inaugurated in) 1991. There is a short documentary/video about that (how it was built), but it's in French.
@@jerrynix5206 you're welcome, Jerry! It's a short, ca. 12 minute-long film/video, called "Le fil de l'Aiguille"; it, literally, means "the thread of the needle" (kind of a pun 😃). I checked, and, unfortunately, MONT-BLANC Natural Resort, the user that posted the video, did not add captions/subtitles; I hope you'd enjoy it, though.
I worked as a transfer driver for tourists (Geneva airport to Chamonix/Megeve/Morzine/Aosta etc.) and treated myself to this at the end of my third season - it's €70, but worth every cent when you're there! The first stage is tame when you look at the cables...but the 2nd and steepest stage is terrifying 😱 Truly a world class feat of engineering!
This is mindblowing feat of engineering.. both the lift and the structures on top of the peak. The lift has more than 30000 ft of continuous cable. Where did they make it? How did they lift it up? (I know, helicopter, but still..)
Starting in 1909, no helicopters to carry the cables, first with mules on the first section and then on the backs of men. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 to 3,842 m (3,396 to 12,605 ft).
Been there on June 2016,amazing experience,this is really the "Top of Europe",so high altitude that my ears were plugged up during descent with the lift,not to be missed in any case if someone is in Chamonix..
Bello ma dal versante italiano puoi vedere il monte bianco Ita/fra 4810 il monte bianco di courmayer 4765 Ita seconda cima delle alpi totalmente in territorio italiano. Le spettacolari creste del peteurey la piu lunga belle alpi cresta innominata, cresta del brulliard. Il famoso e famigerato pilier du freney e li 3 versanti italiani della cima del bianco sud est e ovest. Dal versante francese puoi vedere solo il versante nord il più banale dal punto di vista alpinistico
Amazing. Breathtaking. And I never use that fucking word. Please stop moving 2feet a day as I hear you are. Your a total babe. Nevermind what they say. Stay Black Princess. 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
je l'ai fait en 2014 ; si vous avez l'occasion de le faire vous aussi , n'hésitez pas; par contre munissez vous de patience , vous serez 2, 3 à vouloir faire le pas dans le vide😁
Lovely Video! I hiked up the Mer de Glace some years ago to the Aiguille du Midi, and in the same trip hiked up the Grand Mulets Route to the Summit of Mont Blanc. Not too difficult with crampons & ice-axe but you need to be acclimatised with a good "head for heights" on the final arete to the Mt Blanc Summit. You also need navigation skills to avoid crevasses on the Mer de Glace & Boissons Glacier!
I don't like to see people building on those beautiful mountains. And especially for it to be so easy to get up there with a lift. It really takes a way a lot of the grandeur and general awe. :(
I think its okay as long as were not doing it on every mountain. The acces was still very limited, unless you had hiking shoes you could go down. But the view up there is a very special experience. Especially because you're above the clouds.
będąc w środku tej kabiny, jest specjalny pracownik który robi wszystkim co chcą zdjęcia - ma koleś wprawę, ale można sobie tam normalnie robić zdjęcia jak się chce i nagrywać.
Jak ja byłem to była dosyć spora kolejka, ludzie raczej idą sobie tam zrobić zdjęcie i tyle, bo na prawdę każda sekunda dla normalnego człowieka w tej kabinie jest przeżyciem :D
Стоп, а где восхождение? На видео показан подъем на гору Агюй-дю-Миди, на вершине которой уже давно построен подъемник. Монблан - соседняя гора, на которой подъемников нет и которая действительно является самой высокой в Европе.
When I am a supervillain, this is where I am destroying the world from.
Il sottofondo musicale abbastanza deprimente
I can't imagine how hard this was to build, it's amazing!

@@mariusmatei2946 wonder If it has subtitles? I'll watch it regardless though, thanks Marius!

@@mariusmatei2946 oh well I'm sure the film is awesome even if I can't understand a word they say ha-ha, thanks bud!
@@jerrynix5206 you're very welcome! it's, mostly, archival footage of the construction of the original aerial tram/cable car system.

Indeed was scary AF...
Now it is 75euro per adult and 63 for kid
ahh.... remember skiing down from the top down to Chamonix here in 1990 with off-pist guides
Great video, this place is amazing. I have just been last week. Thanks for sharing
Not sure I’d call something that big with high rises a ‘village’.
Hanno sfondato una montagna per il turismo
La natura vuole e chiede rispetto
Che poi fa schifo srmbra un supposta ora
The highest peak in Europe is Elbrus

Omg 😮
Good job bro 👊😎
Stunning. Went when I was a kid. Didn’t dare go up there tho! In fact I think we only saw it through the clouds once!
Thanks for the upload

Название видео явно не соответствует содержанию. Это не про восхождение на Монблан.
Nossa que lugar sensacional
Ok….how many times did you grab the arm of your chair….. and who swore at the “step into the void” ….😎
I'm trying to see if something bad happened here. The music is funereal so I don't know.

а где восхождение ? видно только подьем на фуникулере на Айгуль ду миди. я на Хелбронер тожэ так часто "восхождение " делаю.
Хороший прикол. Купил билет на подъемник, покатался на нем до высоты 3800 - и ты уже крутой альпинист 😂
I've been there and it was awesome. It was 85 degrees in the valley and 20 degrees up on Mount Blanc.
It's pretty but what is the point? To be on top of a mountain? Humans are always trying to master nature.
why industrialize the mountains so? the next queue for maternhorn or mont blanc? if someone can't leave alone let them watch the pictures!
Высочайшая гора Европы-ЭЛЬБРУС!!!+800 метров=5642 м.н.у.м.! И канатка там выше!
It's very beautiful place to visit.. I was there on 24th March 2019. Weather was very cold.
Do you feel any oxygen deprivation when you are up there?
@@Neptunefrog Yeah you can do
I´m not afraid to dieee tralalalallaaa!

Będąc na tym szklanym tarasie widokowym można samemu robić zdjęcia i nagrywać, czy ktoś z obsługi jedynie może?
będąc w środku tej kabiny, jest specjalny pracownik który robi wszystkim co chcą zdjęcia - ma koleś wprawę, ale można sobie tam normalnie robić zdjęcia jak się chce i nagrywać.
A jest jakiś określony czas "bycia" w tej kabinie, czy można tam być ile się chce? I dużo jest chętnych do wejścia do środka?
Jak ja byłem to była dosyć spora kolejka, ludzie raczej idą sobie tam zrobić zdjęcie i tyle, bo na prawdę każda sekunda dla normalnego człowieka w tej kabinie jest przeżyciem :D
How much would a trip there cost?
Might help if we knew where from..
About 70 Euro, two weeks ago

Самая высокая гора Европы-ЭЛЬБРУС!!!+800 метров!
Mount Thor in Canada is more impressive . and Trollwall in Norway.
This spectacular video speaks for itself if only the Human voice garbage could be dubbed out leaving the nice choice of background music.
Il Bel Monte Bianco.
