Closure of the Mont Blanc Tunnel from 02/09/24 to 16/12/24

The Mont Blanc tunnel will be closed from 02/09/24 to 16/12/24.

The Mont Blanc massif is traversed by the Mont Blanc Tunnel, a major transport route linking Chamonix in France to Courmayeur in neighboring Italy in the Nordic Alps. It is approximately 11.6 kilometres long. The tunnel was opened to the public in 1965. Since then, the Mont Blanc Tunnel has revolutionised travel between France and Italy by significantly reducing journey times and facilitating cross-border trade. However, over time, changes and improvements have had to be made. Following the tragic fire of 1999 , which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several lives, major modernization work was undertaken to improve safety through the integration of advanced technologies in monitoring and incident management. Today, the Mont Blanc Tunnel is very busy and is one of the busiest passages in the Alps, attracting millions of vehicles each year. It remains a symbol of human intelligence and cooperation, providing an essential link between northern and southern Europe. The construction of this building remains an inspiration that demonstrates what is possible when nations join forces, overcome technical obstacles and cooperate towards a common goal.
