Refuge des Cosmiques

The Cosmiques Hut is reached from the Aiguille du Midi,
via the cable car from Chamonix.

The initial descent for skiers and mountaineers
leaving the Midi cable-car station
 is intimidating due to its considerable exposure.

It has been described as
 "one of the most crowded and infamous passages
 of snow arête in the Alps,
much feared by off-piste skiers
and novice alpinists alike."

 The descent from the Midi station and glacier path
 to reach the Cosmiques Hut
 takes approximately 45 minutes
  - alpine grade PD-
