...looking towards Les Grandes Montets.
We had no idea that we had just skied passed a heli landing pad until this lil yellow guy suprised us. When you buy a lift pass, they ask you if you'd like insurance...we said yes, but luckily we didn't have to get taken back to the valley this way. Beside the pad you can see the avalanche status flag: "moderate" today. In the background you can see the Aiguille du Midi. The ridge line to the left of it leads to the infamous Vallee Blanche.

Connected to Flegere via tram is Brevent. Another tram takes you up to 2525 meters (over 8,000 ft) rewarding you with a 360 degree view of the Alps and access to our favorite pitch of the day, the Charles Bozon.
My rentals were pink boots with glitter buckles and skis with angel wings....go figure.
