explanation: 3842m high, Aiguille du Midi has become an ideal place to observe Mont Blanc since the opening of a ropeway from Chamonix in 1955. In fact, this ropeway is the second generation. Beginning in 1910, the initial project was given up in 1950 due to technical difficulties and 2 World Wars without reaching the summit. From there, in summer, you can reach the Italian side via Helbronner cablebox over Glacier de Geant, while in winter, you can downhill White Vallee by ski. Aiguille du Midi means "Southern needle".
