Not for the acrophobic: Step Into The Void, the cliff-edge glass room at Aiguille du Midi, will make your legs wobble the moment you step in

This sky-high glass room is named“Step Into The Void”, while Chinese tour guides call it“Step Into The Void”and it sits atop Aiguille du Midi (French for “Midday Needle”), at an elevation of 3,842 meters.Before entering the glass room, you must first put on soft slippers provided by staff, and “cameras are not allowed.”The reason is to prevent shoe soles from scratching the glass and to avoid the risk of cameras or phones accidentally falling and potentially damaging the glass.

But don’t worry about not being able to capture this rare view—just hand your camera or phone to the glass room staff, who will gladly take photos for you from all angles, top to bottom and left to right. If you’re not satisfied with the shots, you can even line up again, strike a new pose, and take another round.

Aiguille du Midi is a peak in France’s Mont Blanc range of the Alps, and its viewing platform is hailed as the “highest in Europe.” From here, you can overlook the mountain town of Chamonix below. On a clear day, you might even be lucky enough to see the 4,810-meter Mont Blanc towering before you, along with its glacier views. Close to Switzerland and surrounded by year-round snow peaks, this entire silver-white world was once described by Dickens as“a paradise between earth and heaven,” adding, “I never imagined there could be a more beautiful place in the world.”
