Why Mont Blanc matters
Mont Blanc towers over Chamonix, a snow-capped dome that is the highest peak in the Alps. Climbing it is serious mountaineering, but you can admire it from the valley, cable cars and hiking trails. Most visitors see it from a viewpoint rather than the summit, which is a serious undertaking best left to guides.
Talking points
- It's the highest summit in the Alps.
- It sits on the border with Italy.
- The summit is a serious climb.
