"Climbers seeking to summit Western Europe's tallest peak may have to pay more than $15,000 to cover their potential rescue and funeral costs, a local mayor announced this week.

Jean-Marc Peillex, mayor of Saint-Gervias-les-Bains in France, announced plans on Wednesday to charge climbers €15,000 (about $15,300) if they want to climb Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, located along the borders of France, Italy, and Switzerland.

Peillex said the amount adds up to the average costs of a rescue (€10,000) and a funeral (€5,000)."*
