On an early September day a few years ago we were travelling on the road in the French Alps. We were en route to the 11.611 km (7.215 mile) tunnel that separates France’s Haute-Savoie region from the Aosta Valley of Northern Italy. A rare view appeared, through the temporary break in the cloud cover. The snow covered tip of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe the Alps [see comments below], peeked out of the clouds. A temporary view, too, as shortly thereafter we were travelling directly under and through the peak.

A nice photo and at a good moment ….. but Mt Blanc is not the highest peak in Europe! It’s …… ?

Should have said Alps. Two peaks in the Russian Caucasus are higher – Mount Elbrus and Shkhara. Almost into Asia by this point.

Haha, well done, it’s an old mountaineers trick question or one in quizzes very often. Elberus is therefore naturally one of The Seven Summits too …

It was serendipitous – in a moving car with an iPad. Not the best of conditions, but it was just there!
