WARNING: admire the view at your own risk and peril ! This piste (Lachenal) is drop-dead beautiful. Can’t think of any other danger here 😂(La Flégère, Chamonix)

Vertigonous view from le Brévent. It's 1500m (5000 ft) to the rooftops of Chamonix !

Part of the ski chase in the Bond movie The World is not Enough was shot here (I think). "I'll lead them into the trees". 😂 Closest tree is at Lognan (1000 m/3300 ft further down). North face of Aiguille Verte (4122 m) in the background.
