Mont Blanc Chamonix Aiguille du Midi in the French ALPS

The thick snow blanketed my hat, black hair, scarf, coat, and everything else, but I want to make it even more dramatic, like the dream look I've always envisioned for myself.
Today at Aiguille du Midi in France, brace yourself for extremely cold, freezing weather with lots of snow.

Take a ride on the world's highest cable car to enjoy the amazing views of French alps. It's snowing heavily today. Unfortunately, we can't take in the sights from the glass walk, but we'll definitely come back again.

We secured our tickets online earlier for the 10:10 am trip to the summit of Aiguille du Midi. The reservation and round-trip tickets for two came to about £150.

Everyone in line is taking their time, super polite, and the staff is really helpful too. But the sky is all cloudy and very cold, and it's heavy snow. The following day, we found out it was going to be closed for a week while they updated the website. How lucky we are!

This was my first time here, and I had a really great experience. Honestly, I'm not really into sports, but now I feel like I want to walk more and explore the outdoors instead of just staying at home.

As we climb the stairs, it gets tough to catch our breath when we finally reach the top. Usually, I take off one glove, keeping one hand free to shoot videos. When the pain kicks in and the cold feels like tiny needles poking my skin, I hurry back inside to shield myself. Then, I sit down, press my cold hand against my warm skin, shut my eyes, take a deep breath, and just wait until my hand warms up to a comfy temperature. It requires teamwork with your partner, and it takes a lot of energy. So, we all need to stay healthy.

My mindset is shifting after my recent surgery and the let downs from multiple treatments, which I prefer to keep private. So, I'm changing my perspective now. This was my first time here, and I had a really great experience. I want to spend time with my loved ones, each and every day, and cherish those moments together! 

We visited Aiguille du Midi café called CAFETERIA, where I ordered two cups of hot Jasmine green tea and settled in for some relaxing moments. The staff asked us to pay upfront for 9 euros, then we realized they were using cheap paper-cups. They should definitely inform customers about that before taking payment; it feels like a tourist trap.

For the same price, you could enjoy tea served in stainless steel or ceramic pots with cups, plus they would refill your hot water a second time in Chamonix city, just a short distance away. We had high expectations and never imagined it would turn out to be a tourist trap.

Anyway, it's an experience worth sharing. We're still filled with joy and unforgettable memories from seeing the top of Aiguille du Midi, surrounded by heavy snow and the stunning scenery we had always dreamed of.

Thank you for being part of our tour! Looking forward to seeing you all in the next chapter. Goodbye, my friends!
