The main peaks are from left to right: Grandes Jorasses (4208 m), Dent du Géant (4013 m), in the very background Grivola (3969 m) and Gran Paradiso (4061), both entirely on Italian territory, Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248 m), Mont Maudit (4465 m), and Mont Blanc, the highest summit of the Alps (4806 m). The glacier seen in the central foreground is La Vallée Blanche, the glacier behind is the Glacier du Géant.
