Leslie Stephen father of Virginia Woolf reached the peak of Mont Blanc in 1873 to admire the sunset, and wrote in his book The playground of Europe :<\/p>\n
“The snow at our feet was glowing with rich light, and the shadows in our footsteps a vivid green by the contrast. Beneath us was a vast horizontal floor of thin level mists suspended in mid-air, spread like a canopy over the whole boundless landscape, and tinged with every hue of sunset. Above us rose the solemn mass of Mont Blanc in the richest glow of an Alpine sunset. The sense of lonely sublimity was almost oppressive”<\/p>\n
He had reached the top with a long tweed coat; his daughter Virginia recalled in various occasions how much his dad loved to wear it around the streets of London, proud of the yellow marks left on it from the ropes.<\/p>\n
Before becoming the Mont Blanc, the name of the mountain went through various paths.

Courmayeur alla fine degli anni '60 era un piccolo paesino di montagna. Avevo iniziato a vincere qualche gara e mi allenavo sciando in neve fresca con una persona che cercava di conquistare le grandi vette: Walter Bonatti. Eravamo visionari, alla ricerca dell'assoluto. Ci confidavamo i nostri sogni, parlavamo del mistero della vita come se potesse un giorno essere svelato. Walter amava il silenzio, la solitudine e le montagne: le guardava con grande amore studiando a tavolino ogni passo, ogni strettoia, ogni appiglio. Walter possedeva innata eleganza e gentilezza d'animo, in lui si avvertiva l'astuzia del giaguaro, una forza di spirito che fluisce e dona la vita. Nei momenti pi\u00f9 difficili, lo spirito lo spronava inarrestabile, la forza superiore del suo essere lo avvolgeva e prendeva il sopravvento. Per i miei 18 anni mi aveva invitato a scalare Les Grandes Jorasses e lass\u00f9, sulla vetta, avevamo condiviso - brindando - la visione di un\u2019Europa Unita, senza frontiere.<\/p> La Montagna Sacra richiama anime a cui piace l\u2019introspezione, apparentemente vagabondi dell\u2019inutile. Sir Leslie Stephen, padre di Virginia Woolf, nell\u2019agosto del 1873 arrivava in vetta per ammirare il tramonto.\u00a0 Sui pendii della Montagna Sacra Walter Bonatti cercava la solitudine come condizione per vivere pi\u00f9 intensamente . Il Monte Bianco in antico segnava un confine invalicabile, oggi \u00e8 un ponte tra i popoli, non li separa ma li abbraccia; \u00e8 la Montagna Sacra, simbolo dell\u2019unit\u00e0 del continente Europa.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montebiancomontagnasacra.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe first known name is Rupes Alb<\/em>a<\/strong> (approximately 1091), Says o Scez Blans<\/strong><\/em> (1319), Mont Sainct Bernard<\/strong><\/em> (1532), Glaciales Montes<\/strong> <\/em>(1581), Mont Malay<\/strong><\/em>, Mont Malet<\/em> <\/strong>or Montagne Maudite<\/strong> <\/em>(1606-1743), other then La Glaci\u00e8re<\/strong><\/em>, Les Glaci\u00e8res<\/strong><\/em> or Les Glassi\u00e8res<\/strong> <\/em>(1741-43). It appeares as Mont Maudite<\/strong><\/em>, on a map printed in Geneva in 1606 curated by Jac Goulartius Genevensi. Moreover the name Le Mont Blanc<\/strong><\/em> is firstly seen on a map published in London in 1744 and the previous toponym Mont Maudite given to another near by peak.<\/p>\n

I suoi cristalli di quarzo e le rare fluoriti rosse racchiudono biblioteche in cui sono codificate le epoche della terra, storie che ci precedono da milioni di anni.\u00a0I suoi ghiacciai erano per Gaston Rebuffat giardini fiabeschi. Le sue austere pareti di granito e ghiaccio rappresentano ancora oggi, per molti alpinisti, una sfida e un bisogno: sentirsi vivi nel silenzio di spazi immensi.<\/p>
Dopo la mitica impresa della salita invernale in solitaria, nel febbraio 1965,\u00a0alla Nord del Cervino, Walter sceso a Zermatt dichiarava:
\u00abDedico questa impresa al centenario della conquista del Cervino e all\u2019Europa Unita\u00bb.\u00a0Un messaggio che anticipava i tempi a venire, un richiamo alla condivisione e alla fraternit\u00e0.<\/p>
