France.
Mont Blanc, France.
Incredible hiking opportunities abound from the idyllic setting of Chamonix, at the base of the the towering Mont Blanc, pinnacle of the Alps.
Massive sheets of glacial ice flow down from Mont Blanc's "Mer de glace." At 4807 metres (15,771 ft.), Mont Blanc is the tallest peak in Western Europe and a popular destination for climbing in the summer and skiing in the winter.
I crossed from France into Italy over the sea of ice on an incredible journey up and over the mountain on the Aguille du Midi telepherique skyride! |
