An isometric view of La Refuge Des Cosmiques from L’Aguille Du Midi’s observation deck. Two ski alpinists can be seen traversing the snowfield below the refuge, heading towards Mont Blanc.
Sunset, as seen looking towards the Italian side of the Mont Blanc massif from the balcony of La Refuge Des Cosmiques. Pointe Lachenal rises gently from the Col du Midi. The moon is visible in the upper left third of the image.
Sunset at L’Aguille du Midi, looking towards the Chamonix valley. The gondola and tourist site buildings are visible on both spires of the peak in the upper right corner of the image, while the electrical and service buildings are visible towers the center. The image shows the spires, peak and rocky cliffs of the peak, with the rest of the Haute Savoie alps and foothills in the background, lit by a slowly setting sun
Here are some pictures from the top of an Alp earlier this month. Right after I left the area, it got hit by a massive snowstorm. On the days I was up there we were skiing on mostly ice, but it was still worth the effort for obvious reasons.
