To get to the greatest ski run in the Alps, take the cable car to the top of Aiguille du Midi. |
Avalanches thundered incessantly from the aiguille Verte and the other mountains. |
Clouds at first gathered round the aiguille and Dme du Goter, casting the lower slopes of the mountain into intense gloom. |
At the opposite side of the valley was the aiguille du Dru, with a banneret of snow streaming from its mighty cone. |
The ski-in, ski-out three-star Hotel Aiguille Rouge is located in the centre of Arc 2000, with lovely views over the Mont Blanc. |
I meant to go up an Aiguille yesterday morning, but when I woke at 2 AM the clouds were low down on the hills, fresh snow and everything unsuitable to climbing. |
