The highest peak in the Alps at 4,808 metres, straddling the border between France and Italy above the Chamonix valley. The Aiguille du Midi cable car ascends to 3,842 metres on the French side, providing access to high-altitude snow and glacial views without technical climbing. The classic photographic composition frames the Mont Blanc massif from the Plan de l'Aiguille mid-station at dawn, when the summit pyramid turns deep orange against a clear sky.
