The Aiguille du Midi is a 3,842 meter tall mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
Their plan was to link the hamlet of Les Pelerins with the summit of l’Aiguille du Midi.
The project met technical problems and was abandoned.
The second section La Para - Les Glaciers was completed three years later.
It was then the highest cable car in the world.
An Italian engineer Count Dino Lora Totino was called in to rebuild and extend the cable car.
It was entirely renovated in 1991.
