Mont Blanc Summit Challenge

Can you summit the White Mountain?

At 4810 m (15,774 ft), Mont Blanc (in Italian Monte Bianco) is the highest summit of Western Europe situated between the French and the Italian Alps, near the town of Chamonix (France) and Courmayeur (Italy). Although climbing Mont Blanc is not technically very difficult, the altitude requires proper training and equipment. Every year, several thousand people do it and several accidents are caused by improper preparation. A mountain guide is necessary unless you already know the place.
