The highlight of the trip to Chamonix Mont Blanc, the 'Alps village' in southeastern France, is Aiguille d'Midi🤍💙 The moment when you take the world's highest cable car 🚠 up to the Aiguille d'Midi peak observatory, which is nearly 4,000m above sea level, and see Mont Blanc, the highest peak of the Alps, right before your eyes is something you'll never forget... .🗻🏔 When you think of the 'Alps', you usually think of Jungfrau in Switzerland, but 'Aiguille d'Midi', which is located higher than the Jungfrau observatory in Switzerland, is the place where you can see Mont Blanc the closest.

#skiseason this famous and popular ski resort is easily reachable. it is located in the small, lovely, beautiful village Chamonix in France. if you are not in France, don't fret, you can visit it from Italy or even Switzerland. my partner and I visited it from Switzerland, Geneva. The bus tickets were 50 pounds return tickets and within a two hour journey. ✨ Apart from skiing you can also book to experience sky gliding which seemed a bit scary for me, but iIdid see a lot of people doing it. #chamonix #travel #thingstodo #resorts #france #europe #skiing #newdaynewdestination

#GlobalTravel #France Alpine Town #Chamomix 🇫🇷 Winter and summer alternate in 12 hours a day. I got up at 6 am to take the cable car up the mountain to enjoy the #MontBlanc 🏔️ I completely underestimated the cold weather in the mountains. As soon as I got to Aiguille du Midi, I suspected that I had a slight altitude sickness. I had difficulty breathing and felt a little dizzy when climbing the stairs. I immediately went to the cafe to drink two cups of hot chocolate in a row. After my body warmed up a little, I mustered up the courage to step out to enjoy the mountain❄️The scenery in front of me can only be described as spectacular✨ Recalling the last time I went to the Jungfrau in Switzerland, I remember that it was cloudy and I could hardly see anything on the mountain🥹I am very grateful that I finally encountered blue sky and white clouds in the #Alps this time. The camera kept pressing the shutter, and the 20-second video could not fully show all the beautiful scenery🤍 It is the most cost-effective to buy Mont Blanc MultiPass when traveling here, about €87 per person. After taking the cable car to visit Mont Blanc in the morning, we returned to the town for lunch at noon, and then walked for 15 minutes to take the #RedTrain Montville Railway (#Montenvers Railway) to the Mer de Glace Glacier to admire the ice cave. It was as hot as midsummer in the town, and then it turned back to winter in a blink of an eye. It was really hot and cold. 🤣 I feel like there should be a shop where you can rent thick clothes here... #Accommodation I chose Hôtel Labrador Chamonix, which is about a 20-minute bus ride from the city center. First, the price is relatively cheap, an average of €120 per night, and second, the environment is really beautiful. Back at the hotel, you can enjoy the mountain view while tasting authentic snow mountain beer and ham on the terrace🥂 After a 12-hour journey, I returned to the hotel at 6 pm to enjoy the rest time and put an end to the whole day's journey. I will leave for Lyon again at noon tomorrow🥰 🚘 There are two ways to get to Chamonix: · Take a bus from Geneva, Switzerland for about 1 hour and 10 minutes (about €20 per person) · Take a bus from Lyon, France for about 3 hours (about €25 per person); take a train from Paris to Lyon for 1 hour and 30 minutes 🔍Personally, I think the environment of Grindelwald, where you can see the Jungfrau in Switzerland, is indeed more beautiful, with less dense houses and more cabins on the grassland, but the transportation costs and hotels for the entire journey are very expensive. The domestic train tickets and the cable car to the Jungfrau alone cost €500 per person. In comparison, Chamonix also has the scenery of snow-capped mountains, but both transportation costs and hotels are relatively cheap. It is a good choice for people who don’t have too much budget🤍

📍Attraction address: Starting from the city center of Chamonix, it takes only 20 minutes to reach the summit of Piton Nord on the north peak of Aiguille du Midi by taking two sections of the Aiguille du Midi cable car, and then transfer to an elevator to reach the central main peak of Piton Central at 3,842 meters. 👍️Must-visit attraction: On July 8th, with clear weather☀️, on the twentieth day of the European trip, we took the French Aiguille du Midi cable car, which is the highest vertical cable car in the world. It takes only 20 minutes to ascend 2800 meters from the town of Chamonix to the Aiguille du Midi in the Alps. You can see Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe at 4,810 meters, on the right, and Le Dru at 3,754 meters, Les Grands Jorasses at 4,208 meters in Italy, and other peaks of the Alps on the left. Looking up at Mont Blanc and overlooking the snow-capped peaks, there is a feeling of being above all but one. The thrilling steep cable car and the magnificent snow-capped mountain scenery that never melts make the Aiguille du Midi cable car the most famous and popular route in Chamonix. Taking the Aiguille du Midi cable car is a must-do in Chamonix. 🎟️Ticket information: No entrance fee, cable car price is 78 euros

At the Aiguille du Midi in France, which is 3,842 meters above sea level, you can see Mont Blanc, the main peak of the Alps, and the surrounding mountains and glaciers at the closest distance. This is also the best choice for viewing or photographing Mont Blanc at the closest distance. It is also a paradise for enthusiasts of rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing and exploring nature. After sightseeing, enjoying a hearty lunch or a cup of fragrant coffee during a break in an aerial restaurant at an altitude of 3,842 meters is definitely a wonderful experience not to be missed. There is also a cable car connecting Aiguille du Midi to Ponta Hebron in Italy. On the way to Ponta Hebron, you will slide over the Giant Glacier and get a close look at the second largest glacier in the Alps - the Meier Glacier. You can also see Mont Blanc from different angles. #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #Mountain #Alps #EuropeTravel #France #FranceTravel #FranceTravel #MontBlanc #SnowMountain #CableCar #Glacier

The Aiguille du Midi Aiguille du Midi is a great place to watch the Blanc, first buy a ticket at the cable car station, write the serial number on the cable car ticket, and then wait for the sign on the platform door to light up the corresponding number. Going in, you don't have to wait in line at the door, sit in the cable car, you need to make a transfer, the first cable car is swaying, it is very exciting to sit up! When I came to the cable car, I felt that the wind was biting, and everyone must wear more clothes! I dont wear a piece of wool and cashmere in my clothes! The first platform has restaurants, souvenir shops, and the highest postbox in Europe! It is said that the speed of this post is really amazing. I havent finished playing back yet. Domestic friends said that I received the postcard I sent! Its almost faster than overseas direct mail! Nanzhen Peak is towering above the glacier, snowfield and rock, at an altitude of 3842. Although it is not as high as Mont Blanc, it is 8 kilometers away from Mont Blanc. There is still a feeling of small mountains. If you are not afraid of heights, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Alps in France, Italy and Switzerland. If you are brave enough, you can go to the glass viewing platform to take a group photo, but you have to queue up for a small team.
