The highest mountain in the Alps
The sheer majesty of Mont Blanc, the highest in the European Alps, is something that can't be put into words.
The range of activities available is truly remarkable; from skiing and snowboarding in the winter, to hiking and mountaineering in the warmer months, there's something for everyone.
What struck me most was the unparalleled beauty of the surroundings. The snow-capped peaks, rugged terrain, and the sense of being so close to the sky itself, is truly humbling. The Aiguille du Midi cable car ride was a highlight; the panoramic views from its observation deck were simply breathtaking.
I really recommend to visit Mont Blanc, in Autumn or in any other season, this mountain has always something magic and it won't disappoint you!

The Alps, no substitute
This summer, I finally tried the unique Tour du Mont Blanc hike. Thanks to the Alps, I enjoyed summer for the first time in so many years.

The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is recognized worldwide as a hiking route, and the richness of the scenery here is breathtaking. Snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, meadows, glaciers, waterfalls, the three-dimensional mountain landscape combination is never repetitive, and every day of hiking brings new surprises. The classic traverse loop maximizes these scenic combinations, and every summer and autumn, hiking on this route feels like being in a fairyland, with rich colors making one think that God accidentally spilled the palette on the Alpine plateau.
·
This time, I teamed up with my boyfriend and two other friends to participate in the Tour du Mont Blanc hike. Everyone came from all over the world to the Alps (Sweden, Japan, China), and we almost couldn't have fun together due to other obstacles along the way~
·
Our itinerary this time was a counterclockwise route, 7 days and 6 nights,
Day 1: Notre Dame de la gorge - Refuge du Bonhomme
Day 2: Refuge du Bonhomme - Rifugio Elisabetta
Day 3: Rifugio Elisabetta - Rifugio Bertone
Day 4: Rifugio Bertone - Rifugio Elena
Day 5: Rifugio Elena - Champex
Day 6: Champex - Trient
Day 7: Trient - Le Tour
·
We stayed in mountain huts along the way, had luggage transfer services, and guides, so we only needed to carry daily necessities for light hiking. Each day involved about 6-7 hours of hiking, with breakfast and dinner at the mountain huts (tasty!); lunch was a picnic lunch, simple but nutritious, and the guide thoughtfully prepared local cheeses from different valleys for us.
·
Along the way, we saw a variety of changing landscapes, experienced the different customs and cultures of France, Italy, and Switzerland, chatted with people from different regions such as France, the US, Russia, and Australia, improved our English and French a bit, got stung by hornets, fell flat on my face during the hike, and was pushed in a wheelchair to the airport... It was indeed a very comprehensive experience

An impressive ride on the Mont Blanc Skyway
Visiting the Mont Blanc Skyway was a breathtaking journey that left me in awe of the natural world. This incredible attraction is not just a way to reach the heights of Mont Blanc, but an experience in itself.
What sets the Mont Blanc Skyway apart is the stunning ride on the cable car. As you ascend, the panoramic views of the Alps are simply jaw-dropping. You can see glaciers, rugged peaks, and a vast expanse of pristine wilderness. It's a chance to witness the grandeur of nature from a vantage point that's truly awe-inspiring.
Once you reach Punta Helbronner, one of the high points of the journey, you're treated to a 360-degree view that's nothing short of magical. The surrounding mountains, including Mont Blanc itself, seem within arm's reach.

Some people say that writing is the most lonely thing in the world, no, too much. Such as climbing.
Even if you are traveling with you, the hardships and long-term hollows in the mountains are still in need of patience and confrontation. Through the clouds and the sun, staring at the top of the snow-capped mountains in the gale of the mountain, returning to the original point after going down the mountain, empty hands, re-facing your memory and anxiety, I don't know where the future is.
Marquez said: All the splendor that has ever existed in life, after all, requires us to repay with loneliness.

The town of Chamonix is located on the highest peak of the European Alps, Mont Blanc. There are 13 large ski resorts near Chamonix Town, with hundreds of snow trails and a total length of more than 100 kilometers. From the primary greenway, the intermediate red road to the ultra-difficult underworld, skiers can find their own trails here.
This is the last skiing season in the snow season.
"The first underworld" of the Chamonix ski resort in France. Two years ago, I stood at the top of this road and scared my scalp and numb. I used my legs to seem to have exhausted my life's courage and successfully slipped down. Almost windy and tears. Now, make a mistake, feed and feed! Is this a flat road? What is swollen? Its so hot!
Ok, fly!

When it comes to France, the first thing that jumps into people's minds is the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, the coffee shop, the oil painting... But the romantic France actually has more than these historical and cultural experiences, but also the peak of nature the highest peak in Europe. Mont Blanc! The quiet Mont Blanc is a household name. As a unique natural landscape, 4810 meters above sea level, it is called the European spine and attracts millions of visitors every year.
How many people live in the city, but the heart flies into the distance. Skiing in the Alps, standing at the end of the winding ramp, looking up to the peaks of Mont Blanc, the peaks of the snow are not spectacular. There are also rock antelopes and hawks circling in the air on the mountainside, feeling that they have never been so peacefully embraced by nature.
Come to the Alps for a pilgrimage! Walking with the people you like, strolling through the clouds of Europe is sure to be the most memorable memory of your life. You can report to the activities organized by the local mountaineering association. After climbing the cable car on the viewing platform, climb out from the plank road and save effort.
