'Bent and I went to Argentiere and took the cable car up to Les Grands Montets.
At 3233 meters of altitude, it's not quite as high as the Aiguille du Midi where we went last week but the views are spectacular, and we practically had the place to ourselves. Highly recommended.
Here's the view toward the magical Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. (If you look closely, you might see the Carbons.)
We saw some climbers. I got their e-mail ID later so I could send them photos.
It was freezing up there - actually below freezing - but spectacular. As we got off the cable car, I was impressed to see an older woman with two canes making her way down from the lookout on the steep, icy, open staircase that clung to the rock face. As we passed each other, she flashed a big smile and said, "It is very good." What a great attitude!
Now that my shoulder is working again, I had to take another selfie.
Our time here is almost up so I took some photos from our apartment balcony tonight. If anyone is ever planning to stay in Chamonix, this has been a great place.
