My unforgettable winter journey in mid-August

found my old photos and I thought I can make a story out of them or just
perhaps try to remember what it felt like being 4000 metres up high facing Mont
Blanc.

There is this amazing place where if you ever have the
chance to visit, it will be an unforgettable journey. It is called Chamonix ,
one of the oldest ski resorts in France and home of the first Winter Olympics
Games in 1924. Seven years ago, I went there with my family and I did not even
realize what we were about to do. I learned that you don’t have to be an
alpinist to be as high up in the mountains, breathe the fresh air, be closer to
the sun, be on top of the world… and see one of the highest peaks in the world
in front of you – Mont Blanc. I have never even imagined that this is all
possible. How did we do it? Chamonix has one of the highest cable cars in the
world, linking the town with a summit called Aiguille du Midi which is at about
3842 m.
