To the north, the Mont Blanc is almost completely glaciated, to the south it consists of gigantic, prominent granite rocks. The summit consists entirely of ice and firn, the height of the mountain is therefore subject to seasonal and weather-related fluctuations of about 1.5 m.
Mont Blanc was first climbed on August 7, 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard. Today several routes lead to the summit, including the normal route from the northwest side over the Aiguille du Goûter and the Dôme du Goûter. There are also several difficult routes for rock climbers and ice climbers.
