Mont Blanc 360

On January 21 at 1am PT (10 am in Paris), Google Maps will release Street View Imagery of the Mont Blanc, the highest mountain peak in Europe and the surrounding mountain range, the Mont Blanc Massif. The imagery and videos document six world-renowned athletes engaged in the sports they're famed for in different areas of the massif. People will be able to navigate around the 360-degree panoramic images to see athletes skiing, climbing and mountaineering in one of the world's most breathtaking sites. We'll invite everyone to discover the iconic locations, the best panoramas, and even to climb up to the summit via the well-known Gouter route.
