If you're feeling particularly brave or needing some moments outside your comfort zone and you happen to be in the Mont Blanc town of Chamonix then you might like to try this.It's the Chamonix Skywalk, at the top of the Aiguille du Midi at a height of 3842 metres. Before you step into the void, you'll put on some special slippers so as to not damage the glass surface. The glass by the way is three layers of the toughened material and the five sided structure is capable of withstanding 200 kph winds. I feel better knowing that but you'll never get me up there.
The facility opens to the public today.
Visitors who are brave enough will be standing more than a kilometer above the next horizontal surface.
It's been a great year.
Do something to celebrate...
