The Skyway Monte Bianco is cable car system in the Alps, linking the Italian town of Courmayeur with Pointe Helbronner on the southern side of the Mont Blanc massif. Courmayeur can be reached from Milan in 2h 30 by driving.

In good weather, Pointe Hellbronner has a cable car system linking it to Mont Blanc. We have been to that cable car before and its the most incredible cable car we have rode ever. But for this time, we are exploring the Italian side of the alps.

Our goal today is to go Refuge Torino is a high mountain refuge in the Alps in northwestern Italy. It can be accessed from the Italian side by Monte Bianco cable car from La Palud in Courmayeur, with a change at the Pavilion du Mont Frety. We were the only 4 passengers in this cable car. Well, since we were here, we just go with the flow….

Slowing going up now.

As we approaching the peak, the midst was getting thicker.

but looking down was a clear day…what a big contrast.

As predicted, we couldn’t see anything by the time we reached the top.

Out of nothing to do, husband suggested we should walk up this long stair to a viewing platform.

The place was in construction…so it’s quite messy in fact.

Fortunately, the kids were happy when they saw the snow and get to play with it.

After a while, I watched them walking up to the platform. Husband first… The kids followed him at the back…

We let the kids playing with snow for a little bit while, before leaving the place for long.

With such a poor facilities, I wonder why the management didn’t close it for proper maintenance before open it to the public?
