Mont-Blanc, the eight wonder of the world
For many, Mont Blanc is simply one of the highest mountain in the Alps. Its 4,807 m certainly confirm its undisputed supremacy. But in reality, Mont Blanc is far more than this with regard to records, history and nature: it is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the Aosta Valley.
The conquest of the summit
The summit of Mont Blanc was conquered in 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel Gabriel Paccard, but even today it is a popular destination for climbers from all over the world. Using suitable equipment and an expert guide you can climb Mont Blanc, feel the snow crunch under the crampons and admire the view from the roof of Europe. Rely on the alpine guides to better live this experience.
The Mont Blanc by cable car
Suggestive are also the emotions that you feel climbing with the cable car Skyway Monte Bianco up to 3,466 meters of the panoramic terrace at Punta Helbronner with the possibility of stopping at the intermediate station of the Pavillon du Mont Fréty, equally rich in interest and places to visit.
The tourist area of Mont Blanc
Mont Blanc dominates the municipalities of the valley floor - La Salle, Morgex, Pré-Saint-Didier and the elegant Courmayeur - which, with La Thuile, form the so-called "Valdigne". At the foot of the chain, there are two particularly suggestive valleys, Val Veny, and Val Ferret. At Pré-Saint-Didier take the valley of La Thuile, which reaches the Little Saint Bernard Pass.
