Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Western Europe – 4,808 m 15,777ft above sea level. It was first climbed in 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard. Since then it has had thousands of ascents and each year mountaineers come to climb the peak by one of several routes. Chamonix is home to a lot of famous climbers and many become Mountain Guides taking their clients climbing throughout the Mont Blanc range. If you are not intending to climb to the summit you can ride the Aiguille du Midi cable car that gives you superb views at 3842m of Mont Blanc, the surrounding peaks and all along the Alpine range.
