At an altitude of 3817 meters, significant upgrades to the Aiguille du Midi station begin today, with a budget of 2 million Euros. Galleries will be renovated (sealing, painting, covering cables) and above, the summit terrace will be redone. The main objective is to be able to observe Mont Blanc protected from the weather. The Compagnie du Mont Blanc will close the Aiguille du Midi station today for 6 weeks, until the 16 December inclusive. Work will however then continue for the next 2-3 years.
