    Aiguille De Midi is a must do when you are in Chamonix. Spectacular views of the Alps..... We went in mid October when the weather can be a bit unpredicatable. it was a gorgeous clear day and I told my husband that we shoudl do Aiguille De Midi first. ( We were very blesssed because the next two days it rained). The ride up was fantastic . It was so cold up there and for the first time I felt what altitude sickness ( mild though was like )... Panting just to climb up a few flight of steps to the cafetaria to the most delicious cream of mushrooms soups and you can add loads and loads of croutons. It was just what we needed after the cold.

    Going down we made a stop at the plan d'aguille and had a nice glass of red wine amidt the beautiful. Definitely .... definitely a 10 for me !!!!!!

    The only thing - it was the low season so the panorama cable car that goes into Italy was closed. So thats a reason for me to come back...
