European Alps
Mont Blanc's range
The European Alps are the major mountain range of central Europe, stretching across eight countries from France to Slovenia.
Often called simply the Alps, they contain western Europe's highest peaks, including Mont Blanc.
The range shapes regional climate, culture, and tourism—skiing, mountaineering, and alpine scenery draw millions annually.
We spent two weeks hiking in the European Alps.
