At the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, the French just installed a new glass structure called the Chamonix Skywalk. ย It was inspired by the Grand Canyon’s glass skywalk. ย But the Chamonix Skywalk takes this idea to next level by making the floor transparent. ย Visitor feel as if they are hovering 3,396 feet above the valley below. ย 1/2″ glass surrounds visitors as they hang out above Chamonix and test their fear of heights.
