Courmayeur to Chamonix



Today was amazing! In total, we took 5 cable cars: two from Courmayeur to Punta Helbronner, one over the glacier du Geant from Punta Helbronner to Aiguille du Midi, and two from Aiguille du Midi to Chamonix.

Views from Punta Helbronner (3462m):



We were on top on the World with our heads in the clouds, literaly and figuratively. It was amazing. We saw mountaineers, tents, and climbers up there. Stunning views all around.

Views from our little cable car from Helbronner (Italy) 0ver the glacier du Geant, which is 5km long, to the Aiguille du Midi (France):

Mountaineers backtracking on a certain section of the glacier du Geant:

In Chamonix, we went out for a beer, which led to many more beers at a place called "The Pub".

Beer Consumption: Lost count
