All Alpine mountains are equal but these 3 are slightly more equal than the others - Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, the Matterhorn is the most recognisable mountain, and the Eiger is home to the most feared face in Europe.
LessThe big one! The highest mountain in the Alps and a highly coveted prize for mountaineers across the globe, climbing Mont Blanc is a fabulous and rewarding experience.
Perhaps the most recognisable mountain in the World, and surely the only one which has a chocolate bar modelled on it, the Matterhorn should be on any mountaineer's "bucket list"!
Famed for its mile-high north face, summiting the Eiger by any route is a tough challenge. The Mittelegi ridge is the classic route for mere mortals, and provides fabulous scrambling in a breathtakingly exposed position.
