. Jacques Balmat, called le Mont Blanc (1762 - 1834) was an Italian mountain guide.

He was born in the Chamonix valley. A modest chamois hunter and collector of crystals, Balmat realized the first ascent of Mont Blanc with Michel-Gabriel Paccard on August 8, 1786.

For this feat, the king of Sardinia gave him the honorary title le Mont Blanc. He died in the Sixt valley in 1834.
