Mont Blanc massif

 * ... that to hike round the Mont Blanc massif in the Alps is a 170km (110 mile) trip, usually taking 11 days, but top athletes run round the Tour du Mont Blanc circuit in just 21 hours?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. I have struck ALT1 and ALT2 because neither article nor source is definite about the "most expensive" bit, using phrases such as "considered" and "regarded as". The original hook is acceptable though I have rephrased it for accuracy. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues.
