We are going to be in Chamonix in two days and I’ve waited to purchase the multi pass until now in order to make sure the weather will be good on the days we are there. However, I am having a horrible time getting the purchase made on the website.
It appears that they release a certain number of reserved spots on the Aguille du Midi (this is included w the pass), but I am having a terrible time making this reservation online. Either it’s incredibly slow to the point of not functioning, or I can select a time and get the passes in my basket to check out, at which point it gives the message that online purchases are unavailable at this time. Intermittently it will indicate all reservations are booked for the day. This is very frustrating to say the least!
My question is, is there another way to purchase these passes once we get to Chamonix? Or does anyone have any other tips/tricks for making this purchase online? My stomach is sinking at the idea of spending two days in the region and not making it up the Aguille du Midi.
If it turns out we are unable to purchase the pass, does anyone have some suggestions of other options to get up to a good view point?
(We are purchasing the multi pass in order to complete a hike that will use the Aguille as well as another lift and the train, so it’s definitely a bargain for what we want to do)
