Mont Blanc.

A massif of all superlatives straddling three countries, Mont Blanc stands as the roof of Europe. With its glaciers and iconic summits like the Aiguille du Midi, the Grandes Jorasses or the Aiguille Verte, it's the ultimate mountaineering terrain, a discipline I've been able to practice here, ultimately much more than hiking, setting aside the now-overcrowded Tour du Mont-Blanc. I also include its neighboring massif here, the Aiguilles Rouges, an incredible viewpoint offering a panoramic view over the entire Mont Blanc range. Naturally, the hiking trails of this iconic massif are often very busy, but it remains possible to go off the beaten track by venturing into the high mountains for those willing to put in the effort.
