    I use to live here in summer and took my parents up this lift it is very very expensive but it's truly grand! However my favorite was a very cheep option, a hike up the mountain in the close by Les Houches (10 minutes) it is one of my fondest memories in life, up there was a goat cheese farm and we would bring a baguette up the lift and hike to the cheese farm across the plain nestled between the mountains and have lunch there then hike back, it was one of my parents greatest memories of life too, truly spectacular in the summertime.

    I've been here. It's amazing. Just a warning, I was dizzy and had a splitting headache for 2 weeks straight after climbing the Aiguille de Midi. The air pressure did something to my brain. I wouldn't recommend it to people over 40. Or at least take an Aspirin before going all the way up. I am impressed with how Rick Steve is in such a good shape, jealous in a good way. 😊🏔️

I gone there different time because my husband is a alpine guide . By then the Mont Blanc is near to Courmayeur ( italian ) and after the gallery the Mont Blanc is near to Chamonix .

    Thank you Steve for the wonderful images and enthusiastic, well documented commentary. All you need to do is work a wee bit more on how to pronounce the word 'aiguille' 😄🤣
    I was born and raised in Chamonix, where my Dad was a mountain guide. Now I live far, far away and my last visit to Chamonix was in 2008. I was very impressed then, at how the town had improved in every way, and how hospitable the locals had become.
    When I was a kid there in the 1960s it was a VERY different story. The natives had little respect for tourists back then, and often displayed rough and rude behavior. So in 2008 I was overjoyed to see that things CAN sometimes change in a good way !
    The one very sad change I noticed in 2008, however, was the disastrous effect of global warming... the Mer de Glace has receded massively (by almost 3 km in length and 200 m in thickness), so has the once majestic Glacier des Bossons, while its 'twin', the Glacier de Taconnaz has totally disappeared.
    It was a shock 😥
