7 'Pas dans le Vide' at Alps, France

'Pas Dans Le Vide' ('Step Into The Void'), is a glass box built around a metal frame that is suspended above the void, offering visitors peerless views of the Alpine landscape from what is being touted as Europe's highest attraction.

Built at the top of the Aiguille du Midi peek (3842-meters high 12,604 ft), the observation platform can be accessed via a precarious cable car ride - the highest in Europe - that carries sightseers 8,858 feet up the side of the mountain.
