Travelling in the Alps The star is Mont Blanc, which towers over the region at 4,810 metres (15,780 feet). And yes, since we left school, its summit has grown, and it is moving east, quite quickly for a mountain: it has shifted 34 metres (111 feet) in 15 years. Only true athletes will be able to climb it all the way to the top. But all around, what a wonder! Nature revels here, from Vanoise National Park to the luminous Lake Annecy, from the Route des Grandes Alpes to the Aiguille du Midi. A journey to the Alps to breathe deeply, ski, snowboard or wander off the beaten track, and then recharge in one of the wellness spas in Uriage or Aix-les-Bains. Make up for lost calories by enjoying a raclette or French pillow pastry tourtons with a Savoie wine. And fall asleep under the stars. Discover all of our travel inspiration for the Alps.
