Aiguille du Midi
Chamonix, France
The Aiguille du Midi, a jagged peak at 3,842 meters above sea level, boasts the tallest vertical ascent in the world via cable car. Visitors are taken to the very top edge of the Mont Blanc massif, standing on a terrace with Needle Peak views that are as close to the Alps summit as most will ever venture.
