| | | | | Aiguille du Midi | | | | | From the top of the 3 842 m Aiguille du Midi, you can practically touch the Mont-Blanc ! The exceptional observation deck is literally dug out of the granite rock and is, in itself, an
impressive technological achievement. The Aiguille du Midi is also one of the best ways to enter into the secret world of glaciers. You won't want to miss the Panoramic cable car which takes you over the Vallée Blanche and the Glacier du Géant to the Pointe Helbronner on the Italian side. An incredible journey, indeed ! | | | | | |
