When the Montenvers train station was built at the turn of the 20th century, it was level with the glacier. The glacier has since melted and In the last quarter of the 20th century a gondola was installed to reach the level of the glacier. After the 1990s the melting accelerated and more than 300 steps are now needed to go from the gondola arrival to the top of the glacier. New steps are added every year. Here the 1990 level can be seen.
