Here, 3,466 meters up, the air is thin enough to make you mindful of your own lungs. To one side stands the Dent du Géant—a jagged, impossible tooth of rock—and to the other, the sprawling, blinding white of Mont Blanc itself. It is a landscape that cares very little for borders, though you are technically hovering on the jagged line between Italy and France.

You are safe, of course, warm in the comfort of your headset, but the visual reality is stark. It is a collision of the sublime and the domestic; the eternal silence of the glaciers met by the hum of the cable car. A place where the world feels both infinitely large and terrifyingly bright.
