Skyway | Salomon TV

In 2015 the new Skyway Monte Bianco opened, replacing the rustic funivia cable car that for decades transported skiers and alpinists up to Punta Helbronner on the Italian side of Mont Blanc. Oscar Taiola, a mountain guide and icon of the former cable car and now safety manager for the new Skyway shares his passion for the high mountains while recounting the history of there former lift through to its current state of the art incarnation. Times and the technology might have changed, but as skiers Tony Lamiche, Alex Pittin, Kaj Zackrisson and Josh Daiek discover, the mountains haven't.

Thank you indeed for posting this beautiful video.
If anyone is wondering whether to take this trip, let me say, the experience is too beautiful to represent even with the best videography. Borrow money if you need, drop some other itinerary if you are pressed with time, but go for it. (You can go from Courmayeur in Italy all the way to Chamonix in France by Skyway and come back by bus to your starting point, or vice versa).

Unfortunately foreign people are discovering that Courmayeur and the Italian side of the Monte Bianco are far better than Chamonix and the French side ;)
