点评:It was fairly straightforward to book tickets online. However, we did this the night before and there were limited amounts of tickets left. Many of the earlier/more convenient time slots were unavailable due to being fully booked. We would recommend getting on at Le Fayet (instead of the Saint Gervais stop) as the tram starts there so you have more chance of getting a seat. Didn’t like waiting for our tram in the blistering heat as there was no shade provided. The tram filled up a lot. Seats were small, hard and uncomfortable. Due to the volume of passengers, we had strangers squashed in the seats next to and opposite us. It was a hot day, so all of this made the journey uncomfortable and quite unpleasant at times. In my opinion, they shouldn’t sell as many tickets. It was about an hour’s journey to the top (Nid D’Aigle). The views during the tram ride and at the top of the mountain were lovely, picturesque and very scenic.
Annoyingly as soon as passengers disembarked the train, everyone was in an immediate queue to purchase timed tickets for the return journey back down the mountain. This system was very inefficient and restrictive. Due to other time slots selling out, we had no option but to book onto the last train of the day. This meant we had to spend longer at Mont Blanc than intended. I don’t know why people can’t book return journeys online, at the time of initially booking the experience - very frustrating!
There were a lack of facilities at the top. One small eatery serving a limited menu. Two ‘portaloo’ style freestanding toilets which looked poor quality. No gift shop for souvenirs. The terrain was obviously rocky, but you couldn’t easily do any walking to explore the area unless going up or down steep/uneven paths.
We realised after booking that you are not guaranteed a seat on the tram in busy periods. For the journey back, we had to stand which was not ideal. Partway, an additional tram was added to enable passengers from our tram to move onto another one and get a seat. This made the remaining journey much more comfortable and enjoyable.
翻译:在线订票的过程相当简单。不过我们是在前一天晚上才订的票,此时剩下的票数已经不多了。许多较早或更方便的时段都因为票已售罄而无法选择。我们建议从勒费耶站上车(而非圣热尔韦站),因为有轨电车是从那里发车的,这样买到座位的机会也更大。在酷热的天气里没有遮阴处可躲,等待有轨电车时真是不好受。而且有轨电车上很快就挤满了人。座位又小又硬,坐着很不舒服。由于乘客众多,我们旁边和对面的座位上都挤满了陌生人。那天天气很热,这些因素加在一起让这次旅程既难受又有些糟糕。在我看来,他们不应该出售那么多车票。前往山顶(Nid D’Aigle)的行程大约需要一个小时。乘坐缆车途中以及到达山顶后看到的景色都美不胜收,如画般迷人。令人恼火的是,乘客一下火车,所有人立刻就排起长队去购买返回山下的定时车票。这种机制效率极低且限制颇多。由于其他时间段的车票均已售罄,我们别无选择,只能购买当天最后一班火车的票。这就导致我们在勃朗峰停留的时间比原计划要长。我不明白为什么人们不能在线预订往返车票。在最初预订体验项目时——真是令人沮丧!
山顶上的设施十分匮乏。只有一家提供有限菜单的小餐厅。还有两间质量看起来很差的移动式厕所。也没有售卖纪念品的礼品店。虽然地形明显多岩石,但除非沿着陡峭不平的小路上下行走,否则根本无法在周边区域散步探索。
预订之后我们才意识到,在旅游旺季时并不能保证能坐上缆车。至于返程时……我们不得不站着,这并不理想。途中,又增开了一辆有轨电车,以便我们这辆车上的乘客能够转移到另一辆车上并找到座位。这样一来,接下来的旅程就舒适愉快多了。
