Morning view from the Aiguille du Midi across the Glacier du Géant in SE direction to Pointe Helbronner (left centre, 3462 m) and adjacent peaks, forming the French-Italian border. The Graian Alps appear in the background, behind the Aosta Valley. Two of its main peaks can be seen in this photograph: Grivola in the left centre (3969 m) and Gran Paradiso (4061) in the centre, both located entirely on Italian territory.
