People with disabilities

The Aiguille du Midi is an exceptional high-mountain site subject to significant structural, topographical, and meteorological challenges.

In an effort to provide clear and comprehensive information about accessibility options, we regularly update this page to reflect the current status of the site’s accessibility.

If you have any specific needs, please feel free to contact us before your visit so that we can best assist you.

You can also get a Priority access pass, valid only at the Aiguille du Midi site; available at the Information Chalet upon presentation of proof of identity. This lanyard makes it easier to identify you so that we can provide you with the assistance best suited to your needs.

For comfort and safety reasons, we recommend that a companion accompany you during the visit.

At an altitude of 3,842 meters, the weather conditions and the thin air may cause discomfort (headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness). It is recommended that you bring warm clothing, water, and sunglasses.
