Mont Blanc (French, white mountain), or Monte Bianco (Italian, white mountain), also known as "La Dame Blanche" (French, the white lady) is the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe. Summit 4,810 m (15,781 ft). The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur, in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix, in Haute-Savoie, France — the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Chamonix to Courmayeur. Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes. The Mont Blanc Massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.

Aiguille du Midi

The Aiguille du Midi:3,842m (12 605ft a.m.s.l) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps. The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1035m to 3842m. It travels from Chamonix to the top of the Aiguille du Midi – an altitude gain of over 2,800 m – in 20 minutes.

Fortified wall for defence Murten

The town’s name is derived from the Celtic word moriduno, meaning “lakeside fortress”. It was first mentioned in 515 as the existence of a defensive place called “Muratum”. By 1013, the place was known as a fortress. Duke Berchtold IV of Zähringen founded the town in 1159 next to the fortress. After his death, Murten was recognized as a “Free Imperial Town” by the German emperor Frederic II. At that time, the emperor himself lived in the South of Italy and a small town north of the Alps was not his concern. It did not last long -– in 1255 Murten fell under the protection of Count Peter of Savoy. A fire in 1416 led to rebuilding in stone. On June 22, 1476, Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, laid a siege known as the Battle of Murten. The town hung on for 13 days but finally was saved by the Bernese army. The enemy’s army was destroyed completely — some 10,000 Burgundians were killed. Since then, Murten celebrates the victory every year on June 22. From 1484 on, and for 300 years, Murten was ruled by the two cantons — Bern and Fribourg. In 1803, Napoleon gave the town to the canton of Fribourg. Today Murten is still a part of the Canton of Fribourg.
