I stopped for the remarkable view skiing above Les Grands Montets and below l'Aiguille Verte and l'Aiguille du Dru (upper left). Few places are so stunning, and so easy to access! Many are the reasons Chamonix is a Mecca for skiing and alpinism. The views, vertical, the terrain, the routes, the exposure, the history, the people....the list goes on. Be sure to visit if/when you can! But beware--as you won't soon get it out of your system (if ever). I first visited as a wide-eyed college student before an exchange program in Avignon and have been blessed with many returns over the years, although it has been too long...maybe next season n'est-ce pas?! Unfortunately, even then I won't be able to get that lush #kodachrome latitude for a monochromatic mountain scene like this, mais c'est la vie... #skiing #chamonix #argentiere #lesgrandsmontets #lesdrus #mountains #skimo #france #alps #adventure #photography #kodakfilm #slidefilm #filmisnotdead #madewithkodak #camp4pix #theoutbound #visualsoflife #passionpassport #monoart_ #photooftheday #tbt #createcommunicateexplore (at CHX - Les Grands Montets)
