Snapshot of Mont Blanc History
Even when the high mountains are shrouded in cloud, Chamonix is dominated by the overwhelming presence of Mont Blanc – both physically and historically.
It is not a classically splendid looking peak like the Swiss Matterhorn but appears as a great glazed meringue-like dome that garnishes the glaciers far above the cobblestones of Chamonix. Mont Blanc has over the years inspired poetry, madness and even the creation of Frankenstein!
