Sitting on the Italian and French border is western Europe’s highest mountain — Mont Blanc. At 4810 m, some underestimate the scale of Mont Blanc, and the other 4000 m+ peaks in this region of the European Alps.

Mont Blanc is permanently covered in snow and ice, hence its name. The literal translation is “white mountain”. Mont Blanc is the world’s third most visited natural site due to its popular hiking trails.
