No one can gain an insight into Mt Blanc's grandeur and magnificence when enfolded by a mist. Mt Blanc is set within clouds of mist with intricate black veins clinging to a white snow mountain background. Mt Blanc is shimmering high above just like the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote in the poem, "Far, far above, piercing the infinite sky, Mont Blanc appears, still, snowy, and serene. Its subject mountains their unearthly forms".
