For petrol heads in the Alps the Mont Blanc Rally is one of the big events of the summer.

First held in 1947 it was originally organised as part of the Fete d'Evian and was known as the "Rally Paris-Evian". Over the years the rally's course and focus shifted and it became the "Rally Evian - Mont-Blanc" and then in its tenth year, the "Rally Mont-Blanc Iseran". It was not until 1961 that it finally became the "Rally Mont-Blanc".Today the race exists as the fifth stage of the French National Rally Championships and draws many of France's top drivers to the mountain town of Morzine to compete. The race takes place over two days, during which the drivers will cover over 600km around the Portes du Soliel and the Massif du Chablais.
