On a clear day...

Looking out the window, I can only see a few yards. The weather in the mountains is certainly changeable. A couple of days ago it was crystal clear. A perfect day to go up the mountains for a look at the view. The first stage is on a modern gondola which can hold 120 people. This takes you to the access point for skiers. The second ride is in a bubble lift, which holds 6 and is quite cosy. The third lift is a cable car which would not have looked out of place in an old James Bond movie. On the way back down we stood back to let the skiers get on , the cable car drooped by about a foot as the 19 people got on. It sways and bounces against the side of the station as it comes in. The forth lift was an even older cable car. Honestly if Jaws had been riding on the roof, I wouldn't have been surprised .
But it was worth it. The view from the top is fantastic. Mount Blanc is stunning. It really felt as if we were on the top of the world.
