Snow Covered Peaks With World Class Wine & Cheese
The African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided millions of years ago, forcing the earth above them to rocket towards the heavens creating one of the world’s most beautiful, jagged landscapes.
Mont Blanc is the jewel in the mountainous crown of the French Alps, but there is more to this region than the snow covered peaks and thrilling winter sports that come along with it.
Husky sledding, winemaking and strolling through glaciers give a very different pacing and overall feel to the vivid villages and cerulean skies above.
