The Mont Blanc is an easy way to avoid Switzerland through to Italy if you are a truck driver, but it's expensive I mean €550 return for a Truck, the return ticket lasts 14 days. Remember either side you must get the emissions ticket Euro 5 and 6 are only allowed to travel through the tunnel, if you do not get the emissions ticket you will be turned around and will have to drive the 30 kilometers back to the emissions station. The emissions station is better signposted on the French side in 3 languages, French, Italian and English. Trucks normally at night you cannot go through with a truck, I think from 9pm until 5am, you have to park up at the emissions station in lines and then get your emissions ticket then drive through in the morning. The emissions station have good free toilets, showers and a coffee machine. It's 2 way traffic through the tunnel so concentration is needed, plus do not speed! Cameras are watching your speed, which is normally 70kmh and no slower than 50kmh. Cars are €60 return and Motorcycles €40. The run up both sides is beautiful.

Great quick way to get from the French to the Italian side of the Alps. The wait on the Italian side is usually negligible. Whereas the wait on the French side can take up to an hour+. You can check the times and wait and a live webcam of the tunnel entry at the montblanc tunnel website. Cost wise is 46/47 euro and change one way and 56/57 euro for a round trip. It's a relatively very easy drive and the ticket kiosks send you one by one about 150 meters apart. Speed limit is 50km minimum and 70 km maximum.

Aux portes du tunnel, une attente de 20 minutes. Il y a 4 guichets et une voie est réservée aux camions.. Quand un ou plusieurs convois arrivent, il semble qu'ils passent en priorité. Ce que je comprends, mais il faudra alors patienté et cela peut être long... De plus il n y a qu'une seule voie et entre chaque passage une attente obligatoire pour laisser une distance de sécurité suffisante entre les véhicules. Je suppose qu'à la conception il n'ont pas envisagé le futur et le congestionnement... Enfin une fois de l'autre côté vous traverserez une dizaine de tunnels italiens sans rien voir du paysage. Leurs tunnels ne disposent pas d'évacuations d'airs suffisantes et vous sentirez dans vos narines et votre george la pollution ambiante...horrible. La technique consiste a ouvrir entre chaque tunnel (longeurs de 300m a 3 km) les vitres et les remontées aussitôt. A utiliser si vous etes pressé et que vous avez 45e a payer, et un tarif très avantageux si votre sejour est inférieur a 7 jours. Puis encore un paiement en fonction de votre sortie sur l'autoroute italienne...35e pour aller jusqu'à milan...et sa continue... Je vous conseille de passer par la Suisse, de payer 36e pour une vignette valable 3 mois et vous pourrez circuler, faire des allers-retours sans limites et sans payer et d'admirer les beaux paysages. L'intérêt est donc de prendre cette route a l'aller et au retour, évitant les 90e (uniquement si votre séjour est > a 7 jours) pour traverser dans les 2 sens le tunnel du mont Blanc.

I Traveled Through Mont Blanc Tunnel From Italy to France in the Year 1978 From Aosta Valley to Chamonix in France We Stopped Once we Entered France And Clicked Many Pics at the Golden Statue( A Kind of Landmark ) Overlooking Mont Blanc Alps...The Majestic Mont Blanc Alps were a Sight to Behold...Glittering In the Bright Sunny Day..And Casting A Golden Shiny Glow on its Snow Capped Peaks..And we Enjoyed the Lawns .. Nearby ...We Visited Chamonix City Also

Overpriced for motorbikes and the waiting time just to get into the tunnel does not make it worth it. I just wanted to try it out, but next time I rather just go around Mont Blanc and enjoy nature for free! Be careful for hidden speed cameras in France. The cameras in France are not designed to ensure that speed limits are followed, but rather to take your money.

Am condus camion frigorific si dupa telepassul de la Aosta se intra in aria de regularizare unde se urmaresc indicatoarele si semafoarele pentru camion, traseul T1, Mont Blanc. Aici sunteti dirijati de semafoare, marcaje si indicatoare, iar de la Ghiseul de pe stinga va trebui sa luați tichetul cu norma de poluare, apoi traseul se continua inca circa 30-40 km pe A5 pina la N45.8177357 E 6.9520578 care este parcarea dedicată camioanelor Frigo. Aici aveti banda dedicată pentru frigo, se plătește tunelul prezentând la ghișeu tichetul luat mai devreme si cardul de tunel, apoi se staționează in parcarea precizata cu coordonatele de mai sus si se traversează tunelul însoțiți, in coloana! Păstrați distanța si respectați viteza, multe radare in tunel!
