- L' Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix Mont Blanc
(This cablecar ride took us right up to this spot 3842m-high called L Aiguille du Midi, from just 1030m at Chamonix village. This is already higher than Jungfraujoch at 3466m, the other Swiss mountain attraction - click here: Jungfraujoch. It was certainly one of the steepest climbs we have experienced - at one point, the cablecar felt like it was smashing straight into the vertical wall of the mountain, with the steep Bossons glacier right beside us. The view from here is spectacular - another reason why mountain views have captivated us this year, esp after our Everest Base Camp trek - click here: Everest trek. The morning sun today bathe so much of the Alps at this height, with the iconic "rocket tower" of L Aiguille du Midi awaiting us, just a few steps away)
