  • The Aiguille du Midi is a 3842m peak in the Mont Blanc massif of the French Alps. This is the closest you can get to the summit of Mont-Blanc without trekking or climbing. The Aiguille du Midi is the highest mountain peak served by an aerial lift system and holds the world record for the highest vertical ascent of 2807m.
    Join us as we experience the spectacular views of the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps from Aiguille du Midi's panoramic viewing platform. We were so grateful that it was a clear day, perfect for us to view and appreciate the peak of Mont Blanc, Glacier des Bossons, and the beautiful village of Chamonix.

    Awesome video thank you☺️ Which time of year did you guys go? How was the climate, was it very cold? Would you suggest bringing gloves/hats/scarf and a padded coat for a trip in late October? When you mentioned Switzerland did you mean the Junfraujoch? I’m torn also between the two, would you say I should go for this as a day trip instead of Junfraujoch from Geneva? ☺️

    I have skied almost all over the Alps and there is not a place that beats Chamonix in terms of challenging lines and mountain faces. Chamonix has Europes steepest skiing and Europes highest mountain range. It is also the European capital of mountaineering and roughly a 100 people come to die here every year when trying to live their high altitude dream. Of course Chamonix is also second to none in Europe in terms of impressive mountain scenery.

      Curious, did you buy your ticket in advance or the day of? We’ll be there in February and I’m not sure if it’s better to get tickets beforehand or not. I’m used to the overcrowding in National Parks and how you have to plan and buy everything months in advance. Thanks!

    • @xen2653
      @xen2653 Před 10 měsíci

      @@Hastyp3anut It depends, we booked 4 days prior as they were selling out quickly, if you’re going in a time with high demand and you know the weather will be adequate on that day I would book in advance. You should also check the website and weather constantly from up to a week before just to verify if there are tickets left and that the weather is holding up. Hope this helps, have a great trip!

      @@xen2653 Thank you!! This helps a lot. I’ll be sure to book in advance or at the very least, keep an eye out on ticket availability as we get closer to our trip. The planner in me wants to just pick a date and buy tickets so we have them, but the risk taker in me wants to wait until we get closer to make sure we get a clear day for better visibility! Thanks again, we’re really excited for our trip!
