The first cable car heads up to le Plan de l'Aiguille at 2300m. The second cable car is definitely vertigo inducing as it heads up on a single cable with no supporting pylons in sight. It traverses the Les Pelerins glacier before rising up to 3800m. It was FREEZING up there! The wind on one side was just incredible and we were well under-prepared in terms of how many layers we were wearing! The views over to the Italian Alps were fantastic and it was cool to be able to see all the people heading off on the Vallee Blanche ski run. The vertigo came on in the most unexpected places - particularly looking up and then back down.
Enjoy the video and there are loads of photos here as well.
Au revoir France - bring on the rest of Europe!
