Mont Blanc Tunnel

Tags: Road Tunnel.

The Mont Blanc Tunnel is a highway tunnel in Europe under the Mont Blanc mountain in the Alps. It links Chamonix Haute-Savoie France with Courmayeur Aosta Valley Italy via European route E25. The passageway is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes particularly for Italy which relies on the tunnel for transporting as much as one-third of its freight to northern Europe. It reduces the route from France to Turin by 50 kilometres (30 miles) and to Milan by 100 km (60 mi).
