France: Chamonix - Mont Blanc (3/6)

Ski-town xtraordinaire with a fancy price tag to go with it – Chamonix does not disappoint. We stayed at a FANTASTIC chalet with views of the mountains in two directions, 5 minutes walk into town and 5 minutes walk in the other direction to the ski lift. Mont Blanc being the main attraction – the first day we took a hike along the south rim offers unsurpassed views of Europe’s tallest mountain. The second day we rode to the top of Aiguille de Midi, (see video) and took a tramway to a glacier (Mer de Glace), and ate lunch a-top the south balcony. Take a look as Robert’s great photos!
