Salut à tou.te.s,
Le mot « alpinisme » vient des Alpes… comme vous l’aurez deviné. Mais quand et dans quelles circonstances ce terme a-t-il été créé ? Il trouve son origine dans le plus haut sommet d’Europe occidentale, situé entre la France, l’Italie et la Suisse. Le Mont Blanc est l’une des destinations les plus prisées au monde par les alpinistes et a accueilli les premiers Jeux olympiques d’hiver.
The word “alpinism” comes from the Alps… as you might have guessed. But when, and under which circumstances, was the term created? It finds its origins in the highest mountain of Western Europe, between France, Italy, and Switzerland. Mont Blanc is one of the most popular destinations in the world for mountaineers, and the venue for the first ever Winter Olympics.
