It has been very hot in Geneva last several days.
Last Saturday we went up to a height of 3800m to cool down.
It takes about one hour by car from Geneva to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, a famous ski resort.
From Chamonix a cable car takes you to the top of the Aiguille du Midi via Plan de l'Aiguillein just 20 minutes (40 euros).
When you arrive the top, you can see the summit of the Mont Blanc just in front of you!!
Amazing!
We took the lift to the summit terrace at 3842m (3 euros)
From the terrace, you can see a spledid view over Mont Blanc, Aiguilles de Cyhamonix, Grandes Jorasses, and even the Matterhorn.
...and many alpinists!!
On the way down, we took a short hiking around the Plan de l'Aiguille (2317m).
and looked up the top of the Aiguille du Midi.
