Chamonix's Thrilling Glass Sky-Walk

Acrophobia and vertigo sufferers aside, this is a fantastic experience for anyone visiting Chamonix: Perched atop the Aiguille du Midi peak at a dizzy height of 3842m, a carefully constructed glass sky-walk allows you to stand not on the mountains but above them. A brief open space before you step into the box creates the sensation of wind rushing past and once you enter, the world seems to pause. It's the perfect photo opportunity and for the bold, a chance to get a bird's eye view of the rugged mountain range.
