5. Mont Blanc Box, France
We’re not talking about the luxury brand, but the glass box that stands 12,604 feet over the rocks to give you a 360 degree view from Europe’s tallest peak. Engineers have assured visitors about its structural durability and the technology that prevents this box from toppling off the edge. But is that enough?
Racing heartbeat, heavy breathing, nausea, trembling, chest pain, a sense of impending doom. These are the symptoms someone who’s afraid of heights might be struck with if we brought them to this spot.
Arrayed below and before him would be the snowy summits of the French Alps including, to the south, the mighty Mont Blanc – Europe’s highest mountain. He might not want to look down, but if you were to direct his head that way he would see below his feet a sheer drop of 12,604ft. Just a thin sheet of reinforced glass stands between him and oblivion.
