Nid d'Aigle station

Gare du Nid d'Aigle (French: Eagle's Nest Station) is the terminus of the Tramway du Mont Blanc (TMB) from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains on the slopes of the Mont Blanc.

This station welcomes mountaineers as well as hikers at 2,362 m altitude below the glacier of Bionnassay.

During the winter months the tram only stops at the lower Bellevue station, because of the avalanche risks.

A trip by tram from Le Fayet to this terminus lasts about three quarters of an hour and the panorama is remarkable.

The tramway terminus is also the finish location of the mountain run Montée du Nid d’Aigle, yearly in the month of July since 1986.
