^ Sovereignty summit of Mont Blanc is contested between France and Italy. France traditionally includes the entire summit in its territory, while Italy considers sharing the summit between the two countries. According to French interpretation, the border with Italy runs through Mont Blanc de Courmayeur, at 4,748 m altitude. A joint committee worked on the issue in 1996 but left it unsettled.
