Chamonix, France
Aiguille du Midi

Sights, slopes and serenity, all in one space.

If you are spellbound at the thought of a view that is not restricted by country borders, then the Aiguille du Midi Mountain in Chamonix is the place for you. At a peak of 3842m, not only can you see the famous Mont Blanc and French Alps, but the Swiss and Italian Alps as well. This is a great spot for mountaineers to flex their alpine muscles, as there are several routes to choose from.


Interestingly, the name Aiguille du Midi translates to “Needle of the Mid-day”, and it is aptly named because at noon, the sun can be seen over its summit from a nearby church. Burn some calories and roll in the pristine white snow at this massive mountain.
