The September morning line wasn't long, and everything went smoothly, all the way to Point Hellbronner. To be in Chamonix and not do this is insanity.

We got to Chamonix early in the day around 9am. Do try to get there early as the lines get long!!! We were lucky to get to go on the cable car before 10:45. They did cut off the line and gave people behind us to come back after an hour to go to the top.
The day was clear and bright luckily no clouds....The cable car to the mid point was fun going up but coming down was quite a ride...a few slides felt like a roller coaster drop. When we got to the very top we did feel a bit whoozy and at a certain point I felt like I was going to faint. You really do feel the cold temperature so please drink water and carry some nuts etc with you....try to get cozy in the gift shop if you do feel light headed.
The views from the top were magnificent! It was all worth it at the end.

The views from both the first and second platform were spectacular - you feel like you're in the sky.
It was very busy to get on each cable car and then there was at least 30 mins wait time to get up to the touching the void and then 2 hours to get into the transparent cubicle. I would skip the touching the void as the photos were in the shade so you can't even see your face.
I bought the day pass - which includes the cable car and ice train but because of the long queues for Aigulle du Midi cable car I missed the last train (3pm) so it was a waste of money.

A most fantastic place to visit. One minute you're in Chamonix the next at the third pole but with cafe and gift shop. Plenty do see from the viewing platforms and inside. Sunny and cold but always exciting. If it gets too exciting or you're a bit breathless you can eat and drink at the top of Europe. Toblerones seem the natural choice. Watch the daring alpinists with all their ironmongery and maybe have a soothing beer and watch the film show. Worth more than one visit.

Top of the wold! What a view and intensely cold!! The ride up can be annoying if you have someone with Peppa Pig on an iPad. Get off and enjoy the view at the mid point. You can hike down from there if you are on the way down. There are a restaurant and gift shop at the top with other things to do. Mostly, the view is breathtaking!!
