Planpraz is a plateau located at an altitude of around 2,000 m on a flat area of ​​the Aiguilles Rouges which constitute the western slope of the Chamonix valley facing Mont-Blanc.

The view from Planpraz is as fantastic as it is panoramic! In the front, the entire Mont-Blanc chain, in the behind, the Aravis chain, the Carlaveyron nature reserve and its vast virgin territory, the Fiz chain, then the Buet, nicknamed the Ladies' Mont-Blanc. Planpraz offers some of the most beautiful restaurants with terraces in the world!

This plateau is linked to Chamonix via a gondola. It was originally a cable car, carried by concrete pylons, and opened in the 1920s. It was converted into a gondola in 1979, retaining the original pylons.

The installation was completely renewed in 2008: the Chamonix-Planpraz section was reopened on December 20, 2008. A second section, still equipped with a cable car, connects Planpraz to the summit of Brévent and constitutes the Brévent cable car.
