One of the Seven Summits, Mont Blanc or
Monte Bianco, both meaning "White Mountain", is the
highest mountain in the
Alps and the highest in
Europe west of Russia after the
Caucasus peaks.
[3] It rises 4,808 m (15,774 ft)
[1][4] above sea level and is ranked
11th in the world in
topographic prominence.
[5] The mountain lies in a range called the
Graian Alps, between the regions of
Aosta Valley,
Italy, and
Savoie and
Haute-Savoie,
France. The location of the
summit is on the
watershed line between the valleys of
Ferret and
Veny in
Italy and the valleys of
Montjoie, and
Arve in France. The
Mont Blanc massif is popular for
mountaineering,
hiking,
skiing, and
snowboarding.
The three towns and their communes which surround Mont Blanc are
Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and
Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France. The latter town was the site of the
first Winter Olympics. A
cable car ascends and crosses the mountain range from Courmayeur to Chamonix, through the
Col du Géant. The 11.6 km (7¼ mi)
Mont Blanc Tunnel, constructed between 1957 and 1965, runs beneath the mountain and is a major trans-Alpine transport route.
