The Pic du Midi Observatory sits at more than 9000 feet altitude. It looks like something from a James Bond movie. You can stay overnight and ski down.

Amazing! Wonder what the pointy structure at the very top is for.

Apparently it's an antenna built to withstand the high winds.

Oh wow, that is so cool.

When I was in Austria a couple of years ago I came across this place, which looked like something from a Bond movie too.
