It's Friday, the weekend is lurching towards us, so it must be
time for the Friday Matinee and an excellent way of whiling away the
time before the weekend finally arrives and you can get outside.
This week we thought we'd go alpine, literally, with some views
from alpine summits.
The Matterhorn...
To kick things off, here's an extended panoramic take from the
summit of the Matterhorn with a commentary in Mexican Spanish :-)
Aiguille De Midi
OK, so you'll have to make some effort to get to the top of most
alpine peaks, but thanks to the wonders of technology and the
telepherique, the view from the Aiguille du Midi above Chamonix is
accessible to anyone, okay. so it's not quite the top but you get the
idea.
Mont Blanc
You can't really ignore the highest mountain in western Europe can
you. so here's a quick view from the top...
Monte Rosa
The classic alpine view from the Italian peak of Monte Rosa with
german commentary...
Mount Titlis - Switzerland...
You might not have heard of this one, but it's not a bad view
really :-)
La Meije
Okay, we're cheating here but La Meije above La Grave, is one of
our favourite alpine peaks and this is a film of the complete
traverse of a jaw-droppingly beautiful mountain and, obviously, it
includes the summit. So there...
That's it for this week, enjoy and have a good weekend :-)
