Mt Blanc Peakscapes Elevation Panorama

Marking the high point of the Alps and the high point of the border between France and Italy, Mont Blanc's fame in western Europe is surpassed only by the Matterhorn. The massive summit block rises above the glaciers that flow off its slopes, overlooking towns, hiking trails, ski slopes, and gondolas that entice visitors from around the world to vacation and explore at the base of Mont Blanc. This view from Lac Blanc in France features Mont Blanc along with the many Aiguilles that line its flanks, plus a glimpse of Grandes Jorasses above the Mer de Glace.
