Can I go up to Chamrousse with my baby?
Yes, you can go to the mountains with a healthy infant. However, to protect your young child from possible earache due to the difference in atmospheric pressure in altitude, we recommend that you take breaks to perform one or more “decompression” stops of approximately 10 minutes uphill and downhill. For information, there is a minimum of 1,400 meters in altitude between the valley and the resort of Chamrousse.
Can my baby take the Chamrousse gondola?
It is strongly advised against taking the cable car with a baby under 12 months old, and it is recommended to wait until the child is 18 months old. This is because newborns’ eardrums are delicate, and the cable car cannot stop during the 600-metre vertical ascent, which is completed in one go (departure at 1,650m – arrival at 2,250m).
