The Transarc metamorphosis

New

The Balcony in the Clouds (2 540m)

Starting December 2025, come and discover the Balcony in the Clouds, Transarc’s new mountaintop viewpoint. Accessible summer and winter from Transarc, Arcabulle, or Plagnettes, this panoramic terrace invites you to a suspended, timeless pause.

Nestled against the mountain like a natural amphitheater, the balcony offers a poetic stage for the mountain sky: the sun, the clouds, the stars… all elements that shape the breathtaking landscape.

For young and old alike, the terrace is equipped with binoculars for exploring the surrounding peaks. A photo spot awaits you to capture your family in a unique setting, and a picnic area allows you to complement the view with good food. Modern, themed toilets are located on the terrace.

An immersive journey through the ages of minerals

Opened in December 2024 following the reopening of the Transarc gondola, the Minerals Gallery has already become a must-visit stop on the ascent to the Col de la Chal.

This winter, it expands with an ambitious extension, promising an even more immersive experience. Through a themed journey, visitors of all ages are invited to explore the fascinating connections between humans and minerals: how minerals have shaped humanity, and how humanity has in turn transformed these treasures of the Earth.

From flint to asteroids, each room transports curious minds through eras marked by the evolving relationship between humans and these natural treasures.

To complete the experience, a new relaxation area with ski lockers allows you to pause, enjoy a picnic, or warm up with a hot drink, all within a mineral-themed setting.
