Alpine Adventures
The Mont Blanc massif encompasses Europe's most iconic alpine terrain, centered around the 4,810-meter summit of Mont Blanc. This selection features the Mer de Glace, France's largest glacier, and the Aiguille du Midi, known for its high-altitude cable car station. It includes technical peaks like Aiguille Verte and essential mountaineering stops such as the Refuge des Cosmiques and the emergency Vallot Hut. Spanning the French and Italian borders, these sites highlight the region's massive ice falls, historic high-altitude shelters, and the dramatic granite spires of the Chamonix valley.
