monte bianco, mont blanc as it is also known, the tallest mountain in the alps at 4810m (15780 ft.), dominates the western aosta valley and its attractive all-year resort, courmayeur.
the cable car ride up to the aiguille du midi from entreves, 5 km. further north, offers one of the most spectacular views in the alps.
from pre-st-didier, below courmayeur, the little st. bernard pass with its small glaciers, forest and ravines can be explored.
