In the summer take the highest vertical ascent cable car (the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi ) in the world from Chamonix up the Aiguille du Midi and enjoy the panorama of mountain tops of the Mont Blanc massif. Then continue by taking the 5 km panoramic Mont Blanc cable car ride which crosses the Mont Blanc Massif to Point Helbronner in Italy. This is the highest cable car traverse in the world.

The panoramic views are spectacular.

Cable cars and Alps

That's not us.

Taken from the 7th floor of the Solent uni. Not much but I thought it looked cool. We were messing around with a D40 we hired out.
