explanation: Located between Chamonix in France and Courmayeur of Aosta valley in Italy, Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Western Europe. Its height varies between 4807m and 4810m due to a snow dome covering the top. There exists still a boarder dispute between France and Italy on the belonging of the summit. Jacques Balmat and Michel Piccard first reached the peak of Mont Blanc in 1786. Now, thanks to the ropeway of Aiguille du Midi or Mont Blanc tramway from St Gervais, you can reach more quickly the summit.
