The view from the top when arriving with the cable car is spectacular. You see the Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc and the other mountain peaks, very dramatic.

This cable car takes you up to a platform at 2,550 meters opposite Mont Blanc witn great views. The black run down from here is great skiing and perfect for cold days as the sun normally warms this side of the valley. More

I took the cable car to the very top and spent approximately one hour there. I looked at the map they gave me and decided to take the walk down, to the lower cable cars.
