Alpine Crossing

This video is from our private ride on the gondola from Aiguille du Midi, France by Mont Blanc to Helbronner, Italy. (Actually, it's the reverse trip, so we're headed from Italy back to France.)

Col de la Colombiere

This is the video we shot from stage 17 at the base of the Col de la Colombiere. You can see Andy and Frank Schleck, Andreas Kloden and then Alberto Contador.

Cliff Hanging

It's a little difficult to see, but this is a video of people climbing from the glacial base to the top of the Aiguille du Midi. It was an impressive site, but I can't imagine with the wind and cold that it was very enjoyable (or safe).

Rocks and More Rocks

The giant field of rocks that were left in the glaciers wake. Hiking over these in Sketchers proved to be quite challenging, see earlier post.

La Mer du Glace

This is the La Mer du Glace (glacier) at the end of our hike from Mont Blanc down to Chamonix. Look how much it has receded.

Hiking Into Oblivion

We caught these two guys as they started out from Aiguille du Midi down the steep slopes to the glacier near Mont Blanc. It's pretty much a sheer drop-off on either side of the thin path.
