Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps range, Western Europe and the European Union. Its height is 4,810.45 m above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world. The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France. The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Cormier in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix. The 11.6 km long Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes. The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
