Italy's Top Outdoor Activities
Mont Blanc
Mont Blanc is the highest point in the Alps in the European Union, standing at 4,807.81 m. It is Europe's second-highest peak, after Mount Elbrus, and the world's ninth-highest summit. The mountain separates Italy's Aosta Valley from France's Savoie and Haute-Savoie regions. It refers to the Mont Blanc massif, located on the Swiss-Swiss border and is part of the Graian Alps. Mont Blanc's summit is situated at the confluence of the Italian and French valleys of Ferret and Veny. The apex region has long been a source of contention between the two countries. Hiking, climbing, trail running, skiing, and snowboarding are popular activities in the Mont Blanc massif. The Goûter Route to Mont Blanc's peak takes two days.
Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is an Alpine peak that divides Switzerland and Italy. The mountain overlooks Zermatt, Switzerland, and Breuil-Cervinia, Italy, in the Aosta Valley. In the wider Monte Rosa region of the Pennine Alps, its summit is 4,478 meters high, making it one of Europe's highest peaks. There are four steep sides above the surrounding glaciers divided by the ridges Hörnli, Furggen, Leone/Lion, and Zmutt. Theodul Pass, just east of the Matterhorn, has been a trading route since the Roman Era. Later, famous naturalists and painters like John Ruskin examined the Matterhorn. After most of the other major Alpine summits had been climbed, it became the topic of a worldwide summit competition.
Grand Canal
The Grand Canal is the primary canal that runs through Venice, Italy. Rialto Bridge connects the two sides of the canal, bordered by palaces on each side of the canal.
