		Although Mont Blanc is not the highest mountain of Europe (the highest mountain of Europe is Elbrus in Kaukasus), it does not diminish the immense fame of the Mont Blanc Massif and its main summit.
		The western end of the ridge, the Mont Blanc end, is composed principally of glaciers, whereas the eastern end has, silhouetted against the snow and the sky, those granite aiguilles whose soaring lines and glowing rock make them seem overflowing with new vitality.
		The Mont Blanc Massif is surrounded by some big valleys: The valley of the Arve in the Northwest, the Val Montjoie in the West, the Val Veni and the italian Val Ferret in the South and Southeast, and the swiss Val Ferret in the East.

		Safely ensconced within the hut on a later trip we were shocked to hear that a pair of climbers on their way up had made the same mistake but one had slipped while attempting to cross the couloir and fallen to his death.
		On a subsequent planned traverse of Mont Blanc the Aiguille du Midi cable car was successfully used to gain access to the Refuge du Col du Midi but only to learn that a party of eight had been killed by an avalanche on our proposed route - now out of the question.
		From the observation platform atop the Aiguille du Midi a spectacular view unfolded across the sparkling Vallee Blanche to the enclosing needles and spires culminating in the great fang of Aiguille du Geant and the huge massif of Mont Blanc soaring immediately overhead.

		While it is true that in a typical season up to 100 climbers may be reported as having died on Mont Blanc, the figures quoted often refer to the massif as a whole, and this should also be seen in the context of literally thousands of attempted ascents each season.
		Nevertheless, Mont Blanc is indeed a killer, and deserves the full respect of the mountaineer, as well as appropriate training, acclimatization and fitness, if a safe and enjoyable tour is to be achieved.
		The Tramway du Mont Blanc, or TMB (not to be confused with the Tour du Mont Blanc, a rugged 200-km pedestrian circuit of the massif) provides an obvious saving of effort in the ascent by the Normal Route.

		Aiguille du Midi is the most easy gateway to the Mont-Blanc range for alpinists and tourists alike.
		Besides the North Face, a long and committed climb, there is a variety of routes leading to the summit, including the steep rock pilar of the South Face, the moderately steep Cosmiques arete of snow and rocks, and the easy but impressive snow arete on the opposite side.
		The snow arete exiting from Aiguille du Midi can be followed up to the next mountain of the chain, Aiguille du Plan, for an airy outing at the border of two worlds.

		The idea of climbing the Mont Blanc was born this winter while snow shoeing in the Alps.
		Mid-way to the Aiguille Du Midi, we walked at the foot of Le Grand Capucin, and the Pyramid du Tacul.
		It was quite a hard climb, shifting from a stone and gravel trail, to one made of grass at times, then of mud, and again of tree trunks, not to mention a mixture of all of those.

	SummitPost.org - Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey Climbing Information
		This incredibily elegant, ship-shaped peak of the famous Peuterey ridge of Mt. Blanc is the most difficult indipendent 4000m summit of the Alps, one of the most photographed (it's very visible from the italian entrance of the Mt. Blanc tunnel), but also one of the least visited.
		In the last few years the level of the glacier is down of at least 7 meters, and just the transit from the rock to the glacier may be simply impossible.
		There are the (Elisabetta hut), at the head of Val Veny near the Col De La Seigne, the (Elena hut) and the (UGET Monte Bianco hut) In all these places accommodation varies - the Elisabetta is quite spartan, the Elena almost a luxurious, the Monte Bianco somewhere halfway.

		Chamonix is legendary for its scenery (Mont Blanc which dominates the valley is the highest mountain in Europe and one of the largest—not tallest—in the world); its strong valley winds that usually limit summer flying to its morning hours; and for its powerful thermals.
		The flight path stayed over the middle of the glacier for 12 kms, large glaciers and the beautiful peaks of Mont Blanc—including the famous north wall of the Grand Jorasses—hanging precipitously on each side.
		Annecy flying is noteworthy for its sheer beauty above the crystalline Lac d’Annecy, its XC flying around the lake and as a take-off point for world-record triangles and straight-line flying, and for the sheer number of pilots in the air who make the thermals clearly visible for miles in any direction.
