An experience you will not forget

We were in the last days at the end of 2025. I think it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. A strong emotion. I do not deny that the price is exaggerated. But I think it was worth it. In 4 only by cable car over 200 euros and then everything else. Once in a lifetime, you absolutely have to go. I recommend it.

Fabulous but Check-in was a Bear

We had a terrible time at check-in. The people at the ticket office wanted us to email them our tickets issued by Trip Advisor. They could not scan our tickets through their window. We tried to email them the tickets and what they received was inadequate. The ticket person called a supervisor who eventually took our phone with the tickets showing, took a picture of the phone, and issued us our tickets for the lift. This took about 20-30 minutes. NONSENSE! Trip Advisor missed the boat on this one. Once admitted to the facility, everything was superb. We did the Infinity Room which was very worthwhile. We were visiting at the end of the summer season and were the only ones in the room . Fantastic! The funivia experience was excellent. The rotating car was a great feature. Once a the top, we checked out the interior "visual cliff" platform. Nerve wracking but very cool. The top level outdoor viewing area. Very good displays and explanations of the history of how the funivia was designed, created, and constructed. An engineering marvel. We bought the lunch at the top with our ticket purchase. Pretty good food and we ate at a table right by the window overlooking the mountains. Also spectacular. Our "tour" was self-guided and the Trip Advisor tickets said we had to be there at 8:30 AM. Not really so. I suspect that in the middle of the season that would be very good advice but when we went, that was unnecessarily early. 9:30 would have been fine.

On top!

Experience absolutely to do, wonderful! I do not recommend lunch in the restaurants of the structure. Cheap and expensive food. The stop at the Torino refuge, beautiful, still allows you to stay on top without time limit.

An Aviglianese family at 3500 meters

We received the ascent to Punta Helbronner as a gift and it was really a fantastic experience. We lived a summer day of cool and wonder that unfolded before our eyes when, ascended to altitude, we found ourselves at the foot a carpet of clouds dominated by majestic snowy peaks. Very courteous staff helpful and clean, safe and well organized.
