Mont Blanc is one of the most stunning sights in Western Europe. Located directly on the border between France and Italy, Mont Blanc is a behemoth that serves as a getaway for many people who wish to ski, hike, or just take in the scenery. The mountain is more then 13000 feet high and there is an 11 kilometer tunnel that connects Italy and France.

You can access the mountain easily from either country. Local buses can take you to the trails or slopes depending on the time of year. From France, you will arrive at Chamonix and in Italy the closest village is Courmayeur. There are many activities to enjoy on Mont Blanc. Climbing is one of the most popular but, also the most dangerous. It is important that you have the right gear and knowledge before attempting the ascent. You can get any information you may need at local outposts at the base of the mountain or from local guides.

Mont Blanc provides incredible scenery that can be enjoyed by all. If snow sports or outdoor activities are not your cup of tea then you will enjoy the shopping and fine dining at the base of the mountain.
