Massif du Mont Blanc
The Massif of Mont Blanc is the most renowned of the French Alps because of its dramatic relief, crystalline rocks and glacial morphology. The dome of the great White Mountain is visible from the town of Chamonix. The summit, at 15,775 ft, is the highest in the Alps and Western Europe.
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France. The location of the summit itself is a subject of controversy between the two countries, as each tends to place it within its own boundaries on maps.
