Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, France, is a renowned mountain peak in the French Alps, reaching an elevation of 3,842 meters (12,605 feet). It is part of the Mont Blanc massif and is famous for its breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The peak is accessible via a two-stage cable car, one of the highest in the world, which transports visitors from the town of Chamonix to the summit in about 20 minutes. At the top, visitors can explore various terraces offering spectacular views, a glass skywalk called 'Step into the Void', and a tunnel connecting to the Vallée Blanche ski route.
