This will be obvious to most but just in case:

Mont Blanc (White Mountain) is the highest peek in the Alps. It's also the name of a dessert named after the mountain.

FYI: Its peek is about 4000 ft. (1,300m) higher than the service ceiling of a single engine Cessna.

The peak is 4808 m (15774 ft) above sea level. The service ceiling of a Cessna 172 is listed as 4100 m (13500 ft).
