When you think of the most dangerous places on earth, France doesn't really pop up as an option. More famous for wine and croissants, we tend to think of slightly less developed locations than France instead. But that's because most of us have never been to Mont Blanc. With peaks of up to 16,000 feet high and wind speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, this mountain is both stunning and potentially deadly.
It's not just extreme winds and precarious heights posing a risk - avalanches are also very common in the area, making it even more dangerous to those who visit. Of course, this doesn't stop tourists from flocking to see Mont Blanc. Accidental death is common, but even more common are life-altering injuries. We'd opt to stay home, but if you're going to go, be careful!
