Pompe’s Mama Goes Sightseeing on Aiguille Du Midi

Climbers and mountains seen during dog travel French Alps

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Like human babies, dogs like me are not allowed in all ski-lifts in the French Alps. In lifts that take passengers to dangerous places, such as glaciers and high altitude, human babies and dogs are usually prohibited. This is because altitude and glaciers can be dangerous for us and our health.

My mama has some kind of obsession with snowy mountains, so she left me with a friend for a few hours. This allowed her to take the famous Aiguille Du Midi lift to a look-out point at 3,852m (the lift starts at 1,000m height).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”778″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1064″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From the Aiguille du Midi look-out point one can see miles and miles away. On a clear day, you can even see the majestic pyramid-shaped Matterhorn in the distance. And you are literally right above the Glacier du Géant with its deep chilly cracks and blocks of ice that stand like towers and are as large as apartment buildings.

After snapping many photos of beautiful scenery, cracks, and mountaineers, mama came back down to fetch me. We went to go get an ice cream and enjoyed the warm fall-day in the valley.

On the page Plan a Trip – French Alps, there is more information about the region and what you can do there. One can also read what to expect when bringing your dog to the French Alps and I have also included a few suggestions for activities that you can do with your dog in the French Alp-region.

In the post Pompe Goes Hiking in the French Alps you can read about our experience hiking there. Mama also gives some tips on where to stay, how to get to the trailhead and other boring logistics that I don’t have to worry about.
