When the ice doth cling less to the cliff walls, the climbers come out to play

The view down to the the town of Chamonix--buildings can be seen if one looks closely

The Aiguille spire - as close as it can be seen                                                                      The tram station and bridge as seen from the spire
   

The skier bridge from a little farther away                                              We took the Envers du Plan route shown here. This represents about half
                                                                                                               of the vertical drop from the top of the Aiguille down to Chamonix
