Up in the clouds: Ogling Mont Blanc from Aiguille du Midi

July 13, 2017

Aiguille du Midi is a large peak (3,842m) within the Mont Blanc massif that offers unparalleled views of the incredible Mont Blanc itself (4,810m)— I knew I had to see Mont Blanc up close, especially considering I’m expelling all this energy just to circumnavigate the mountain on the Tour du Mont Blanc. Aiguille du Midi is easily accessed by cable car from Chamonix, France, but it’s also possible to reach the peak from Courmayeur, Italy. And wow, what a view.

 -
Map from Chamonix.com

All the details: Aiguille du Midi

Cost: Return tickets on the cable cars to Punta Helbronner are 48€, but you’ll also need to buy Panoramic Mont Blanc tickets (29€) to take you the rest of the way to Aiguille to Midi on the French side. It’s easy to purchase both of these on arrival.

Getting there: Catch a bus from the Tourist Information office in the centre of Courmayeur to the Skyway Monte Bianco (about 20min).

Where to stay: The charming Albergo Le Marmotte is a little bit out of town, but it’s easily reached by an easy, quick bus and offers much more reasonably priced accomodation than other more centrally-located options (still 80€ per night, but at least brekky is included). And the VIEWS.

Top tips: Once you reach Aiguille du Midi, there are heaps of platforms and lookouts offering various views over the Mont Blanc massif, but if you are keen on taking “A Step into the Void” (walking across the special glass-bottom lookout), queue up early. The line can get quite long, so best to do this first and then spend a few hours exploring afterwards!


The alarm goes off at 7am and I roll over to continue sleeping in my comfy bed just a little longer. After my crazy long day combining two stages of the TMB yesterday, I am planning to have a relaxing morning and make a late start back on the trail. I’m hoping to combine stages 5, 6 & 7 over the next two days to arrive a day early in Champex, Switzerland, so I need all the rest I can get.

I’m staying in a cute little marmotte-decorated B&B with my friend Katy, and when we do get up, it’s to go down the hall to the breakfast that the Italian grandma running the hotel has prepared for us. After a delicious spread of breads and croissants and yogurts and juices, we set out for the main attraction― Aiguille du Midi.

Last night, we asked the (somewhat) English-speaking grandson of the hotel owner if we could reach the amazing Aiguille du Midi from Courmayeur, and he told us that not only is it reachable, it’s much newer and better than the access from the French side. Sensing some country rivalry here, we take a quick bus this morning from our hotel to the tourist information office in town, where we catch another bus about 20 minutes to the bottom of the Skyway Monte Bianco.

On the bus, we bump into Tulia and Samir, a couple we met together when Katy walked with me on the first day of the hike, and that I’ve run into every single day since. Of course they are off to Aiguille du Midi as well, having finished the section of the hike they came to do, so we all chat in line.

For 48€, we buy tickets that will take us from Courmayeur to the Pavillon du Mont Fréty and then to Punta Helbronner, all via cable car. From Helbronner, we will be able to buy Panoramic Mont Blanc tickets that will take us all the way to Aiguille to Midi on the French side for another 29€. All worth it, I am assured by everyone on the Internet.

The cable car ride to this first point only takes a few minutes, where we are packed like sardines into a glass car that slowly rotates so that everyone can marvel at the view, and even at Pavillon du Mont Fréty, which is a modest 2,173m, we are gaping at the incredible mountain-scapes.

After taking a few dozen photos, we get in line for the second cable car ascent up to Punta Halbronner, which sits much closer to Mont Blanc at 3,466m. This point is even more spectacular than the last, and we spend a bit longer here snapping photos of the imposing Monte Bianco, as the Italians call it.

Finally, we queue up to buy tickets to Aiguille du Midi, which turns out to be quite a lengthy experience. We wait nearly 45 minutes before we are ushered into a much smaller 4-person gondola and set off on the 20 minute journey across the most incredible mountain range I’ve ever seen.

I spend the entire ride sticking my camera (and my head) out the tiny window, practically crying over the views we are entirely surrounded by. We can also see tiny specks moving across the glaciers and snowfields below us, even a few larger specks that look a bit like tents. More shocking than the ice climbers, the gondola swings us right by rock climbers tackling a large rock peak. Give me another ten years to refine my climbing skills and, who knows, it could be me.

Once at the top, we are let out of the gondola into a rambling network of platforms that offer views of Mont Blanc from every possible angle. I’m like a child at Disneyland. We spend a good hour exploring all sides of the mountain, as well as the other spectacular peaks in the range, before we hop into a very lengthy line to take the lift up to the uppermost viewing point.

We are both a bit hangry at this point, but the 15 minute wait is well worth it when we reach the top and look nearly head-on at Mont Blanc. Katy reckons one of the smaller peaks is more spectacular, but I just can’t get enough of the main event.

DCIM101GOPROGOPR1145.JPG

We take even more photos and then descend to the lower platform to enjoy sandwiches and Orangina for lunch, all the while maintaining eye contact with the mountains. It’s about 3pm at this point, and it’s obvious I won’t be able to make it back on the trail today. I decide to stay another night in Courmayeur and head out early in the morning, hopefully making it to Refugio Elena tomorrow night, which is half-way through stage 6. The extra rest should certainly help me squish these 3 stages into 2 days, so I’m not horribly upset.

We meander back down through the various cable cars, not dawdling but also not stressing, and we don’t make it to the bottom until 430pm, where we have to wait until 5pm for a bus back into town. It’s clear that hiking today would have been impossible, as this whole experience has taken well over 6 hours. Worth it, though!

When we arrive back in Courmayeur, we bee-line for the gelato place we ate at last night and spend an hour enjoying our sweet treats while we wait for restaurants to open for dinner. Someone at the table next to us is waving, and it takes a second before I recognise him as one of the French men I walked with on day 2. Sure enough, I glance around the table and spot all the familiar faces of Philippe and Jean-Claude and Co., and we all have a quick catch-up about the hike so far. They are impressed to hear that I made it here last night, since they only just got in, and we wish each other luck on the rest of the hike and hope we may cross paths again! The rate at which I’ve been running into people makes it seem quite likely.

At 7pm, we head over to the restaurant Katy’s had her eye on and indulge in some delicious Italian cuisine, gnocchi for Katy and a gorgonzola pizza for me. Stuffed to the gills, we waddle back to the bus stop to buzz back home and get my things in order for an early departure tomorrow. I’m excited to get back on the trail, but my body does not share this feeling.

  • BEST LAKES TO VISIT AT LAGUNAS DE MONTEBELLO 🇲🇽✨

Lagunas de Montebello is a gorgeous national park in southern Chiapas, right on the border with Guatemala— with 59 amazing lakes, how do you choose which to see?! 

🤩 CINCO LAGOS: interconnected series of lakes visible from a mirador (Tip: if you walk down to the lakes, you can hire a small boat to visit interesting natural features, including a cenote!)

🛶 LAGO POJOJ: one of the prettiest lakes, with abundant flowers & a small island in the middle, which you can visit by kayak or wooden raft!

🐎 LAGO MONTEBELLO: somewhat underwhelming lake from which it’s super easy to organise horse riding tours into the surrounding forest to see additional hidden lakes!

🏕 LAGO TZISCAO: large & very deep lake with plentiful camping & cabañas, and one of the only spots where you’re permitted to launch your own kayak/SUP!

🇬🇹 LAGO INTERNACIONAL: the international border between Mexico & Guatemala runs right through the middle of this little lake, and it’s even possible to walk across to Guatemala & explore a lively market! (Tip: Lago Internacional is just a short walk from Tziscao, so explore these together)

🎨 LAGUNAS DE COLORES: don’t miss these 5 lakes of varying colours (from bright green to deep blue) at the entrance to the national park!

  • WILD YAXCHILÁN 🌿🐒

The most incredible ruins in Chiapas, and some of the best I've seen in all of Mexico, are WAY out of the way— and that's exactly what makes them so spectacular. 

Driving hours into the jungle to the town of Frontera Corozal, you can hire a lancha (wooden boat) to take you 1hr up the Usumacinta River that divides Mexico and Guatemala, eventually delivering you to the base of the Yaxchilán ruins. 

Settled circa 350CE & at the height of its power from 600-800CE, Yaxchilán was once a massive urban centre and a dominant power in this region, largely thanks to its protected position right on the river’s curve that limited land access to the south side.

Feeling like Indiana Jones, scramble up stone steps & root-laden paths to see the impressive ruins excavated in the middle of this seemingly impenetrable swathe of trees & vines. The name Yaxchilán means ‘green stones’ in a local Mayan dialect, which seems apt for a city that almost appears to grow right out of the jungle itself.

Monkeys howl in the distance & munch on purple flowers by the fistful, completing the fantasy of being deep within the jungle, exploring something few eyes have seen. 

While Palenque is crawling with tourists, you can have Yaxchilán all to yourself 😍

  • Wild & wonderful Chiapas 🇲🇽✨

I fell in love with this beautiful Mexican state during my van trip around Mexico last year-- even 20 states later, it's one of my favourite places in the whole country, an incredible jungle paradise full of wildlife & so much natural beauty, not to mention the rich indigenous heritage & colourful traditions preserved here.

It's been such a treat to live in Chiapas for a few months & it's inspired me to go back through all my favourite parts of the state to finally share with you all! 

So, over the next couple weeks, I'm really excited to showcase some of the best waterfalls, most remote ruins, and unique experiences to enjoy in Chiapas. I hope it inspires your next trip to what is absolutely one of the most magical places in Mexico!

  • A love letter to San Cris 💛

I moved to southern Mexico 2 months ago— to a town that held a lot of specific pain for me— feeling just about as broken as I’ve ever felt & so far from myself that I feared I wouldn’t be able to find my way back. 

But somehow, I did.

Wandering these cobbled streets, reading in my sunny garden, dancing around the kitchen to loud music (& sometimes crying even louder), waking up in a place that’s become completely my own, I’ve felt things inside of me start to bloom again. Inspiration, creativity, passion, purpose.

I spent more time truly alone in the last couple months than I ever have, going days on end without anyone’s company but my own— and I’ve started to reconnect with myself, to sift through all the feelings that were too big & too messy to grapple with while I was rushing around the world, to unearth pieces of me that I buried over the years just trying to survive bad situations.

And I’ve learned to love those parts of me again. To find light in my shadows, peace in my pain, poetry in my rough edges.

I’m moving out of my apartment in a week and there’s part of me that’s honestly scared to start travelling again, to allow other people into my days & into my life after carefully curating such a peaceful & solitary existence here in San Cris. But I also know I’m not the same girl I was when I came here. And I can’t be only me when I’m with me.

I think it’s time to find my way back into the world again, into the chaos of new places & faces & challenges.

But I will always, always be grateful for the place that taught me how to breathe again, showed me a path back to myself, and reminded me that I am so much greater than the things that happened to me.

Te amo, San Cris 💛

  • LA CALAVERA CATRINA 💀👒💐

One of the best ways to get into Día de Muertos is to dress up in elaborate costumes— none more iconic than La Calavera Catrina, the elegant skull 💃🏻

The skull makeup so closely associated with Day of the Dead actually relates to a painting by Jose Guadalupe Posada more than a hundred years ago, later honoured (& largely popularised) in a mural by Diego Rivera. Depicting a well-dressed woman as a skeleton, the artwork was intended as a commentary on how death is the one common thread between the rich & poor, and regardless of material wealth, we are all skeletons in the end.

This is the most popular costume for Día de Muertos and you can find stalls all over the city centre painting a million creative versions of La Catrina-- I paid 150p ($8) for makeup + 100p ($5) for my marigold crown.

Another beautiful thing about this country— love & respect for its traditions are almost always enough to earn you an honorary seat at the table. Even foreigners are encouraged to dress up & paint their faces, often pulled close to celebrate with local families. It’s hard to remain a stranger in Mexico ❤️🇲🇽

BEST LAKES TO VISIT AT LAGUNAS DE MONTEBELLO 🇲🇽✨

Lagunas de Montebello is a gorgeous national park in southern Chiapas, right on the border with Guatemala— with 59 amazing lakes, how do you choose which to see?! 

🤩 CINCO LAGOS: interconnected series of lakes visible from a mirador (Tip: if you walk down to the lakes, you can hire a small boat to visit interesting natural features, including a cenote!)

🛶 LAGO POJOJ: one of the prettiest lakes, with abundant flowers & a small island in the middle, which you can visit by kayak or wooden raft!

🐎 LAGO MONTEBELLO: somewhat underwhelming lake from which it’s super easy to organise horse riding tours into the surrounding forest to see additional hidden lakes!

🏕 LAGO TZISCAO: large & very deep lake with plentiful camping & cabañas, and one of the only spots where you’re permitted to launch your own kayak/SUP!

🇬🇹 LAGO INTERNACIONAL: the international border between Mexico & Guatemala runs right through the middle of this little lake, and it’s even possible to walk across to Guatemala & explore a lively market! (Tip: Lago Internacional is just a short walk from Tziscao, so explore these together)

🎨 LAGUNAS DE COLORES: don’t miss these 5 lakes of varying colours (from bright green to deep blue) at the entrance to the national park!

WILD YAXCHILÁN 🌿🐒

The most incredible ruins in Chiapas, and some of the best I've seen in all of Mexico, are WAY out of the way— and that's exactly what makes them so spectacular. 

Driving hours into the jungle to the town of Frontera Corozal, you can hire a lancha (wooden boat) to take you 1hr up the Usumacinta River that divides Mexico and Guatemala, eventually delivering you to the base of the Yaxchilán ruins. 

Settled circa 350CE & at the height of its power from 600-800CE, Yaxchilán was once a massive urban centre and a dominant power in this region, largely thanks to its protected position right on the river’s curve that limited land access to the south side.

Feeling like Indiana Jones, scramble up stone steps & root-laden paths to see the impressive ruins excavated in the middle of this seemingly impenetrable swathe of trees & vines. The name Yaxchilán means ‘green stones’ in a local Mayan dialect, which seems apt for a city that almost appears to grow right out of the jungle itself.

Monkeys howl in the distance & munch on purple flowers by the fistful, completing the fantasy of being deep within the jungle, exploring something few eyes have seen. 

While Palenque is crawling with tourists, you can have Yaxchilán all to yourself 😍

Settled circa 350CE & at the height of its power from 600-800CE, Yaxchilán was once a massive urban centre and a dominant power in this region, largely thanks to its protected position right on the river’s curve that limited land access to the south side.

Feeling like Indiana Jones, scramble up stone steps & root-laden paths to see the impressive ruins excavated in the middle of this seemingly impenetrable swathe of trees & vines. The name Yaxchilán means ‘green stones’ in a local Mayan dialect, which seems apt for a city that almost appears to grow right out of the jungle itself.

Monkeys howl in the distance & munch on purple flowers by the fistful, completing the fantasy of being deep within the jungle, exploring something few eyes have seen. 

While Palenque is crawling with tourists, you can have Yaxchilán all to yourself 😍

Wild & wonderful Chiapas 🇲🇽✨

I fell in love with this beautiful Mexican state during my van trip around Mexico last year-- even 20 states later, it's one of my favourite places in the whole country, an incredible jungle paradise full of wildlife & so much natural beauty, not to mention the rich indigenous heritage & colourful traditions preserved here.

It's been such a treat to live in Chiapas for a few months & it's inspired me to go back through all my favourite parts of the state to finally share with you all! 

So, over the next couple weeks, I'm really excited to showcase some of the best waterfalls, most remote ruins, and unique experiences to enjoy in Chiapas. I hope it inspires your next trip to what is absolutely one of the most magical places in Mexico!
