An essential role for tourism and the economy
Each year, the Mont Blanc Tunnel welcomes many holiday-makers: who come to enjoy the alpine resorts: up to 8,000 families go through the tunnel on Saturdays in July and August! Tourist vehicles also represent the main customers of the tunnel, accounting for 68% of the traffic. Beyond its key role in tourism for the Chamonix and Aosta valleys, the Tunnel is a vital route for local businesses. 76% of imports and exports from Haute-Savoie companies go through the Tunnel.
