With the staff of the Mont Blanc Tramway having cleared the line up from Saint-Gervais-Le Fayet as far as here at Col-de-Voza, they set to work getting the rest of the line open up to the summit at 7,782 feet making it Europe's fourth highest mountain railway. Here a diesel unit and snow blower are in use on the 1metre track. Their efforts will have been in vain as there was steady snow all day followed by about a foot of snow falling at resort level the coming night!
