TOURISTS ON THE GI.ACIER DES BOSSONS 



The visit to the Glacier des Bossons is the easiest of all excursions from Chamonix; 

 so almost every tourist makes it. An electric railway takes him within a few yards of the 

 glacier, and a grotto is dug into it for his benefit, so that he may enjoy to the full the 

 beautiful color and purity of the ice. Above the glacier rises the sharp peak of the Aiguille 

 du Midi.
