Mer de Glace: Closure of two access trails

From 16 March to 7 April 2023, closure of two trails:

  1. Closure of the access trail to the Mer de Glace via the ladders (ladders included), from the Montenvers panoramic restaurant.
  2. Closure of the access trail to the Grotto from the Mottets refreshment bar.

 

This spring 2023 continues the global renovation of more than 50 million euros of the Montenvers - Mer de Glace site. Consequently, a municipal order was issued by Eric Fournier, the mayor of Chamonix Mont Blanc, to prohibit access to these two trails.

A security measure taken to prevent pedestrians from venturing onto this high-altitude site which, despite the favorable opinions of the regional and national site commissions, is still not unanimous.
