Mont Blanc

With the ski season in Morzine drawing to a close and the last of our guest departed, a chance to explore some of the other scenic offerings to be had in the Alps.  Today we drove to Chamonix and took the cable car up to Aiguille du Midi for a stunning close up view of Mont Blanc and the rest of the Alps. One day, perhaps, I will get around to skiing the Vallee Blanch glacier that begins at this peak and winds its way back into Chamonix.  Until then, a chance to watch the intrepid skiers setting off on their journey down this route. Unfortunately the cable car over the Vallee Blanche was closed for the winter, as was the lift to the top viewing gallery, so we missed that part of the Mont Blanc experience. Nevertheless, an excellent day's outing in some amazing scenery.
