In early July 2024, my husband and I are traveling by driver from Lucarno to Chamonix via the scenic route (traveling through Champagne/Aosta around lunchtime). Any suggestions on a 2 hour stop for lunch?
Also, does anyone have a recommendation on having a driver drop us in LaPalud to take cable cars into Chamonix? WIll they be open? Are they reliable? How long would it take? I found this route from a post by @darrenblois in the forum on cable car route:
- From Aosta to La Palud.
From La Palud, take cable car to the Hellbronner (peak at border
between Italy and France): https://www.montebianco.com/en
From Hellbronner, another cable car across the glacier to Aiguille du Midi:

From Aiguille du Midi, its a thrilling cable car down to Chamonix:
