These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is one particularly dangerous peak in the French Alps that just so happens to be a massive tourist destination. Mont Blanc is the tallest mountain in Europe, and much like Mt. Everest, it has become a serious “adventure-tourism” location for people who have enough money to do so. Just like Everest, this causes a disproportionate skill gap between experienced climbers and those who just “feel like climbing a mountain today,” which leads to many unnecessary deaths a year.
