North Shore Chicago

Spend Time at the Skyway Stations
Starting at Pontal, visitors are swept up the face of Mont Blanc to the first station of
Pavillon du Mont Fréty. Those who just want to feel they are at the heart of the
mountain landscape will enjoy spending the day at the station here, enjoying the
botanical garden (which specializes in Alpine plants) or relaxing in its restaurant,
shopping area or cinema. For a truly breathtaking view of the Alps, carry on up the
cable car to the top station at Punta Helbronner. The modern structure (designed to
look like a shard of ice) has a 360º viewing terrace and a crystal museum, as well as a
café, bar and restaurant.
Relax with a Skyway Spa
Put all thoughts of aching skiing muscles out of your mind and instead imagine staying
at the Pré-Saint-Didier Spa and indulging in its ‘Spa and Cable Car’ package. The deal
includes days spent on Mont Blanc at the Skyway’s beautiful stations, followed by
relaxing, rejuvenating treatments in the spa’s elegant therapy rooms.
