Mont Blanc
About Mont Blanc
The highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe. The first ascent in 1786 marked the birth of modern mountaineering. About 20,000 climbers attempt it annually. An estimated 1,000+ people have died on it, making it the deadliest mountain in Europe. The summit can be reached by experienced hikers without technical climbing. A tunnel through the mountain connects France and Italy.
