Google has taken its 'Street View' cameras off road and up one of Europe's highest mountains.

The international company partnered with world-renowned alpine photographers, skiers, mountaineers, climbers and runners to build up a database of 360-degree images from the mountain and the amazing photos are now available to view online.

The team captured some of the most amazing parts of the enormous mountain including a run on the summit with Kilian Jornet, a Spanish ski mountaineer who holds the speed record for ascending and descending Mont Blanc in just 4 hours 57 minutes.

You can also 'experience' an ice climb with Swiss rock climber and mountaineer, Ueli Steck or join famed Mont Blanc guide Patrick Gabarrou - all interviewed in the video below.

This isn't the first time Google Street View has ventured off the well-trodden track, in fact just last year they released the first-ever 'vertical Street View collection' giving users the ability to 'climb' Yosemite’s El Capitan in the USA.
