Sunrise at Mont-Fort—the must-see experience in the 4 Vallées

Imagine the sky ablaze at an altitude of 3,330 meters, with the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and the Grand Combin emerging from the night… Sunrise at Mont-Fort is one of the most unforgettable experiences the 4 Vallées offer. And it’s worth the effort: departure from Siviez at 4:30 a.m.

The itinerary for hiking up Mont-Fort from Siviez

The Gentianes cable car is opening early for this special occasion. In just a few minutes, you’ll reach the summit of Mont-Fort and its 360° panoramic view of the Alps’ highest peaks: the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, the Grand Combin, the Dent d’Hérens… A horizon that takes your breath away with every glance.

After the sunrise show, you’ll head back down to the village of Tortin—nestled in the picturesque Tortin valley, at the base of the Gentianes cable car—for a hearty breakfast. Enjoy a relaxing moment in the fresh air before taking the chairlift back to Siviez.
