On top of Europe


In any event, the place also contains heaps of well tanned hikers, carrying no fat as they spread out of Chamonix and into the surrounding mountains for the day. The cable cabin rides are spectacular and we enjoy many hours watching climbers in the distance making their assault on the mountain itself.
Over the four full days we spent in the Chamonix valley, we managed to take the giant telecabine to Aiguille du midi at 3842 metres and within striking distance of the summit of Mt Blanc-not that we had time to do that-this time!!
