Another gondola, another view

There are so many gondolas in this valley, it is ridiculous. This one is Brevent, and is just a short walk behind our chalet. The first gondola takes you up to a high point, then the second one, which you can see coming up in the bottom of this picture, takes you across a chasm, in one single span, to an even higher point.
The family arrived yesterday. My brother tried to push me off the mountain side today!
A cold drink on the terrace which is litierally built suspended out over the edge of the mountain. We were actually hot after a walk down to a little lake and back up to the gondola.
Although there was no alcohol involved on this photo, there may have been a slight lack of oxygen from the 2525m altitude, and certainly some jet lag!
Different types of mountains on the other side, looking away from Chamonix.
Sheryl on our walk with Mont Blanc, and yet more glaciers across the other side of the valley.

Mont Blanc in a tarn.
Tomorrow, we go up here!
