“I wish we could all live in the mountains at high altitude.” (Phil Conners)
This is the Aiguille du Midi resort in the French Alps. According to wikipedia, the cable car to the Aiguille summit, built in 1955, is the world’s highest vertical cable car ascent.

Was there last year. Seriously one of the most scariest moments of my life. The cable car which brings you up there is horrifying. Then once your there at the Summit…you have to rest every 10 steps or 4 stairs to breath. Its nuts. It even crazier when you see hikers climbing the thing when you can barely walk around in the bar area…
A must see…only like 35 minute ride from Geneva!
Fantastic look. And somebody worked there, building this construction. Wish i visited this place one day.
