Sightseeing
Don't miss the Aiguille but check the webcam before you go up to make sure there's no cloud! TIP: often, even if it's grey in the valley, it's blue-sky up at 3800m.

not the highest of the lifts in the valley, but the one with the best views over Chamonix, thé Aiguilles and Mont Blanc. a ten minute walk from the apartment (take the bus if your legs aren't up to the steep hill!).
