Aiguille du Midi and cable cars

Aiguille du Midi, Aerial lift, Vallee Blanche Aerial Tramway, Télécabine Panoramic Mont-Blanc
France, Chamonix
Aiguille du Midi (midday peak) is a mountain peak in France, Haute-Savoie. The peak is so named because at noon the sun is directly over the peak as viewed from Chamonix.

To the north of the summit, in the valley is the famous French ski resort of Chamonix. A cable car built in 1955 leads to the top of the Aiguille du Midi from Chamonix. The road for two decades held the palm as the highest cable car in the world. Consists of two sections. The first section of Chamonix is ​​the Plan de l'Aiguille at an altitude of 2317 m. The second section, without intermediate supports, raises the cabin directly to the upper platform of the cable car.

Another cable car - Vallee Blanche Aerial Tramway, or Télécabine Panoramic Mont-Blanc - connects the summit with Helbronner peak, located in the southern part of the Mont Blanc massif, in Italy.

From the top of the Aiguille du Midi, in my opinion, the most breathtaking views in all of Chamonix open up. From here you can see Mont Blanc - the highest peak of all the Alps, and other mountains surrounding the valley. It is very convenient that right from the city you can climb to the top by cable car, although it’s still not worth doing it in the first days upon arrival in Chamonix, since the height of 3842 m can provoke mountain sickness out of habit and you will have to urgently evacuate down without having time how to enjoy the views.
