Mont Blanc, or White Mountain, is the highest mountain in the Alps and the highest in Europe after the Caucasus peaks. It rises 4,808 meters above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence.
The mountain lies in a range called the Graian Alps, between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Savoie and Haute-Savoie, France. The location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the valleys of Montjoie, and Arve in France.
A trademark identified with Mont Blanc company is the white stylized six-pointed star with rounded edges, representative of the Mont Blanc snowcap from above, the symbol being adopted in 1913. The number “4810,” the mountain’s height in meters, is also a commonly recurring theme.
