The Mont-Blanc Tramway

See, there really was snow:

Although all those grassy bits shouldn't be there.

On our second last afternoon we took the Mont-Blanc Tramway from St Gervais up to the last stop at Bellvue.

 In summer the tram goes further up the mountain to stations that only open in the warmer weather.

On the way up we passed plenty of skiers making the most of what was on the ground. Can you see those big jumps on the left, bigger than the ski huts? There sure are some crazy people out there.

Up at Bellvue the views were stunning.

Yes, but which way to the coffee shop?

Despite this silhouette I was wearing jeans, not a kaftan. 

We found the coffee shop (where we drank beer) and passed the time until the tram took us back down the mountain. 

On the return trip the baby may or may not have accosted this poor lady's coat and then spent the last 20 minutes yelling to go to bed. 

Mmmmm, furry. 

I choose to forget that part.
