Visit Mont Blanc
Mont Blanc is between Courmayeur and Chamonix (France) and is the tallest mountain in the Alps at 4,810 metres high.
You are more likely to enjoy the beauty of Mont Blanc from Courmayeur or Chamonix than from the summit! Visible from miles around, the mountain dominates its surroundings.
The highest point that a mere mortal can reach is by following the cable cars from Entrves towards Chamonix and enjoying the fantastic views en-route.
There are numerous attractive valleys and passes to explore in the region - ideally on foot! One of the most popular walks runs from La Thuile up to Testa d'Arpy and some more great views.
The region - both Italian and French - is of course famous for skiing in the winter, and makes a great place for walking and mountain-biking in the summer.
