Chamonix: An Unforgettable Experience at the Aiguille du Midi
Perched at an altitude of 3,842 meters, the Aiguille du Midi offered me far more than just a panoramic view: it was a true sensory experience, an immersion that transcends mere sightseeing. In winter, this iconic site in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc transforms into a winter paradise, where nature reveals its majesty in all its purity. A breathtaking ascent The journey began with a cable car ride that transported me to 2,317 meters, at the Plan de l'Aiguille. There, an awe-inspiring landscape unfolded before me: the majestic Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Verte, the Drus, and the Aiguilles of Chamonix to the left, with the Bossons Glacier to the right. The peaks sparkled as if time had come to a standstill. This was merely a prelude to what awaited me higher up. At the summit of magic The second cable car whisked me to the summit at 3,777 meters. There, magic took over: the glaciers of Pélerins and the hanging glaciers stretched out beneath my feet, while the invigorating fresh air filled my lungs. The panoramic terraces offered an unparalleled view of the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps, each vista enveloping me like a living postcard. A dizzying adventure I then ventured onto the walkway linking the north peak to the central peak—a vast and moving experience. Overlooking the snowy ridges and the Géant Glacier was an adventure filled with both humility and exhilaration. Then came the “Step into the Void”: a glass cube suspended above the abyss. My heart raced, my soul soared—an unforgettable moment I captured forever. An extraordinary immersion But the Aiguille du Midi is more than just its scenery. The on-site restaurants provide a culinary experience as spectacular as the views, allowing visitors to extend their time in this breathtaking setting. Finally, the mountaineering museum revealed the daring stories that shaped these heights. The “Hypoxia” exhibit offered a unique insight into the mysteries of altitude and the effects of reduced oxygen levels. Every moment spent up there was a total immersion into an extraordinary world. The icy wind on my face, the endless grandiose panoramas… The Aiguille du Midi transported me to the heights of wonder. It is undeniably a must-see during any stop in Chamonix!

Read MoreApplying the multi-layer system with FIG Clothing
As the cold weather sets in, it becomes essential to be properly prepared to stay comfortable during outdoor activities. The multi-layer system is a proven method to manage temperature fluctuations, avoid moisture and maintain an ideal body temperature, whether it’s cold, rainy or snowy. This system is based on three distinct layers: the base layer, the mid layer and the outer layer. The base layer The first layer, called the base layer, is the one that is in direct contact with the skin. Its main role is to regulate perspiration by wicking away moisture so that the body remains dry. Natural fibers, such as merino, are ideal for this layer, as they provide excellent insulation, even when damp. In addition, merino wool is soft, lightweight and has antimicrobial properties that reduce odors, making it a perfect choice for prolonged outdoor activities. The FIG Clothing Astria sweater is also an excellent choice, as it allows for good body temperature regulation while providing optimal comfort and being easy to care for. The middle layer The second layer, or mid-layer, acts as an insulator. Its role is to retain the heat produced by the body while allowing good breathability. Fleece clothing, for example, is very popular for this layer, as it offers an excellent weight-to-heat ratio. Fleece is lightweight, dries quickly and retains its insulating capacity even when humidity increases. This mid-layer is crucial for staying warm, especially when temperatures drop. The Zurich 2.0 cardigan fulfills this role perfectly thanks to its composition in Tricot Eco Wool Blend, which helps to preserve heat well. The outer layer Finally, the outer layer is designed to protect against external elements such as wind, rain and snow. Ideally, this layer should have a durable water repellent treatment and have insulating properties to retain heat. It should be both waterproof and windproof, while allowing internal moisture to escape. This type of protection ensures that, even in harsh weather conditions, you stay dry, warm and well protected. At FIG Clothing, the Floro jacket is very popular for the excellent protection it offers. This quilted jacket, made from recycled polyester, is water and wind resistant, in addition to providing the desired insulation. Other accessories to consider It’s also important to adjust your layering system based on the activity you plan to do. Having a dry bag handy is a good idea; you can store gloves, spare socks, and other essentials in it. Consider including a hat to protect your head and wearing waterproof boots or shoes to keep your feet dry. Also, don’t forget to protect your legs by choosing appropriate pants that will protect you from the cold and wet. In short, layering is a smart and flexible way to adapt to varying weather conditions. Each layer plays a specific role in regulating warmth, moisture, and protection from the elements. Whether you’re hiking, skiing, or simply taking a stroll in the woods, adopting this system will allow you to fully enjoy outdoor activities this winter, while staying comfortably warm and dry.

Read More5 Montreal getaways to enjoy the fine weather
By Marie-Pier Leduc - Nomade Magazine Autumn is slowly approaching, but the good weather is still here ! To make the most of September's sunny days, here are 5 weekend getaways close to Montreal. A vibrant gourmet getaway in Laval As Montreal's neighbor, we sometimes forget that this destination has it all. Its varied offering makes it the ideal place for a staycation that's anything but boring. You can pick your own bouquet of flowers and enjoy a delicious berry-based ice cream at Ferme Marineau. Or discover the world and flavours of mushrooms at Les Champimignons. For houseplant lovers, a visit to Serres Lavoie is a must! For fresh local food, consider visiting Agneaux de Laval and its Farm Market. For a delicious meal, I recommend the Ricardo restaurant at Centropolis, or the refined menu and incomparable service at Sekoya. Les Insulaires Microbrasseurs is a good place for an aperitif. If you're looking for a more dynamic getaway, then head over to Immersia and try one of their escape games. iFLY was my favorite, because it makes you feel like you're flying for just a few minutes. Don't miss their virtual reality experience, it's absolutely incredible ! A gourmet tour of Montérégie The Montérégie region is full of agritourism stops to discover, and autumn is the best time to visit! In fact, apple season is at its peak in this region of vineyards, cider mills and orchards. For a wine tasting with a lovely view of Mont Saint-Hilaire, I suggest a stop at Domaine Vinēterra. In Beloeil, enjoy an excellent food-and-wine pairing at Le Coureur des Bois. In Rougemont, Cidrerie Michel Jodoin is definitely worth a visit to sample their apple-based ciders and spirits. I've also fallen in love with the Haut-Richelieu area, where you can discover Vignoble 1292, enjoy a country-style meal at Bika Ferme et Cuisine or eat a gourmet brunch at Les bonnes Sœurs. If you're ever in the area, I'd suggest glamping on the water at Aloberge. A weekend in the charming town of Brome Lake The beautiful town of Brome Lake won me over with its picturesque landscapes and charming village. You can discover it on an electric bike to fully appreciate the panoramic views. To do so, hire a bike from Vignoble Léon Courville. On your return, you can enjoy a tasting on the terrace, or even a picnic of local produce. Lac-Brome also boasts a number of fine gourmet addresses, such as Knowlton Co, a microbrewery offering wood-fired pizzas, or the bistro Sapin, in the heart of the village, with its divine menu ! For a good cup of coffee, check out Brûlerie Virgin Hill and its Atelier de Café, an address to remember. To make the most of this Eastern Townships getaway, I suggest you plan an overnight stay at Domaine Jolivent, which offers all the comforts and conveniences you could wish for, even access to Brome Lake. A thrilling Pontiac road trip For a good dose of adventure, I'd rather send you to the Outaouais region, more specifically the Pontiac. Here, the possibilities are numerous: rafting on the river with Rafting Momentum, superb hiking at Rocher à l'Oiseau, via ferrata and zip lines at Parc Aventure des Chutes Coulonge or paddleboarding on the Ottawa River. Enough to keep you busy throughout your stay. Looking for a calming experience after those thrills ? I loved the nearby Vignoble Petit Chariot Rouge, whose terrace overlooks the vineyards. It's a thing of beauty, and I can assure you that the place will charm you from the first glance. If you're a fan of vanlife, there are several addresses in the region that welcome vans. Camping de la Plage du Pont Blanc, for example, is an ideal central location for your stay. Rafting Momentum and Parc Aventure des Chutes Coulonge also offer this possibility, so you can take full advantage of the activities on offer. A nature escape in Lanaudière The Lanaudière region has so much to offer! It's a great place to get away from it all, whatever your tastes ! I'm thinking of the Auberge du Lac Taureau, which in itself offers a dream vacation destination: several accommodation options, dynamic activities on the lake or in the forest, restaurants, but above all access to a superb beach overlooking magnificent Lac Taureau! You'll never want to leave. On your way there, make a stop at Mont Brassard - the different viewpoints are definitely worth the effort. For a more rustic getaway, head to Chalets Lanaudière and stay in a yurt or cottage in the heart of nature! Many activities are also available on site to complete your getaway. To add a gourmet touch to your visit to Lanaudière, take a look at the various Goûtez Lanaudière tours. They'll take you on a tour of the region's producers. I hope these ideas will inspire you to take advantage of the beautiful days to come. I wish you a wonderful escape in the September sunshine.
