Mont Blanc (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃ blɑ̃]) or Monte Bianco (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmonte ˈbjaŋko]), both meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps and the highest peak in Europe outside of the Caucasus range. It rises 4,808.73 m (15,777 ft) above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence.
The mountain lies in a range called the Graian Alps, between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, 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. Constructed beginning in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
On August 28, 2015 a small team of Nike athletes went overseas to Chamonix, France to compete in some of the biggest ultra endurance events in the world. The UTMB® (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) is a 170 km/105 mile race circumventing the Alps, crossing into 3 countries with over 33,000 ft of elevation gain. The CCC® (Chamonix-Courmayeur-Champex) is a 101 km race starting in Courmayeur, Italy and also finishing in Chamonix, France. This race has over 20,000 ft of positive elevation change. Both events are considering one of the toughest at its respective distances. American men have not typically fared well there. As such, Nike athletes David Laney (UTMB), Tim Tollefson (CCC) and Zach Miller (CCC) set out to prove that American men can compete and compete well in the imposing European mo...

g.co/MontBlanc The highest and most iconic mountain in western Europe, Mont Blanc resides on the border between France and Italy. Experience the splendor of this beautiful mountain, and get to know the bold explorers who have pushed the boundaries on Mont Blanc's wild alpine terrain.
I found this Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 in the pre-owned pen case at my local pen store (at a great price) and jumped in. The 149 is perhaps the most iconic fountain pen out there, but I figured I would dive in and provide my own thoughts.

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc Massif in the French Alps. The cable car which starts from Chamonix (France) to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. From the top station (at 3842m) the view of the Alps is incredible. The top station of the Aiguille du Midi has several terraces where visitors can take in the spectacular views of the Swiss, French and Italian Alps. On a clear day it is possible to see the Matterhorn, Monta Rosa and the Grand Combin. An elevator inside the rock rises the final 42m to the top terrace at 3842m. This is the closest you...
What makes the Tour du Mont Blanc one of the world's classic hikes? It's the perfect mix of awe-inspiring mountain views and the vibrant influence of three distinct European cultures -- French, Swiss and Italian.

Let's take a trip to the wonderful ski town of Chamonix, France in this episode of Aboard the Guiding Light. This town is at the base of Mont Blanc in the French Alps. Afterwards we are going to take one of the longest and highest cable cars (gondola) up Mont Blanc to Aiguille du Midi. From here we will see the building, Step Into The Void, mountaineering trails, a museum, and the Matterhorn off in the distance. We could get down by paragliding, skiing, parachute skiing, or base jumping, but I chose to take the cable car down halfway and hike the rest of the way while stopping at a little Swiss cottage for hot coco and soup.

ENFIN, le vol vers le Mont-Blanc ! Courte séquence (moins de 5 min) entre Les Saisies et le col du Joly quasiment sur la ligne de crête en mode essentiellement Gopro histoire de restituer la vue globable et l'ambiance cockpit (pas de musique). Cela est-il intéressant / attrayant à voir ? Peu avant le passage du col, rencontre avec une grosse machine ! Pas de séquence décollage, car déjà vue dans le vol Cessna...

Ascensión al Mont Blanc, el rey de los Alpes, por su ruta normal de Gouter. 4.808m de placer y aventura, con algun peligro por el camino. Reportaje completo aqui: http://www.lamontanaesmireino.es/ascension-mont-blanc-por-gouter/ La ascensión al Mont Blanc, en los alpes franceses, es uno de los objetivos clasícos de todo alpinista y montañero. Su cumbre marcó el inicio del alpinismo, ya que fue la primera gran montaña que se ascendió por puro deporte, por disfrutar de la sensación de estar en el punto más alto, un sentimiento que en aquellos años finales del siglo XVIII no se entendía, y era totalmente novedoso, aunque entroncaría con el romanticismo y sufriria una explosión, que dio paso al alpinismo y montañismo moderno. En esta ocasión, surcamos una de las vías normales clásicas, la r...
A hair-raising 6 part adventure series set in the alpine resort of Chamonix, located at the heart of the French Alps. Following the Mountain Rescue Team (PGHM) as they rescue climbers and skiers from the Mount Blanc Region above the town. The area is the climbing mecca of the world and its rescue team the busiest and the most respected. The terrain is extreme and virtually every rescue involves helicopter winching, often from sheer cliffs and ice faces. Filmed during the peak climbing season in summer, the team risk their lives to save others in this beautiful but dangerous environment. A must watch for anyone interested in the tallest mountains in Europe or understanding the work performed by the world's premier mountain rescue service. This 2001 documentary was produced by Pioneer ...

Le Mont Blanc s'élève au cœur du massif du Mont-Blanc et constitue le point culminant de la chaîne des Alpes. C'est également le plus haut sommet d'Europe occidentale, ce qui lui vaut le surnom de Toit de l'Europe. Avec une altitude de 4 810,45 mètres. Le sommet a depuis plusieurs siècles représenté un objectif pour toutes sortes d'aventuriers, depuis sa première ascension en 1786 par Jacques Balmat et le docteur Michel Paccard. Cette fois, c'est par la Voie normale ou Voie des Cristalliers ou encore appélée voie Royale que Bernard et Pierrick vous ont présenté leur ascension. Au départ de Saint-Gervais, on monte tout d'abord par le TMB (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) pour rejoindre le Nid d'Aigle. L'ascension débute alors en direction du refuge de Tête Rousse, puis passe par le dangereux coulo...
Fred et Jamy prennent la direction de Chamonix pour faire l'ascension du Mont-Blanc. Fred commence l'ascension avec le tramway à crémaillère construit en 1909 et s'arrête au refuge du Nid d'Aigle à 2400 m d'altitude. Tout au long de la montée, il nous parle des conditions de vie rencontrées en altitude et dues au manque d'air, et des conséquences que cela peut entraîner sur notre organisme. Il évoque aussi le mal des montagnes et le rôle du caisson hyperbar avec les médecins de l'ARPE, installés dans le laboratoire du refuge Vallot. Après plusieurs étapes, le voilà enfin arrivé au sommet à 4807 m. Nous verrons également des reportages sur les premières ascensions du Mont-Blanc, les grands noms de l'alpinisme, et les risques encourus en montagne
