A classic ascent of Mont Blanc
(4810m)
‑ Europe's highest peak
Clearly visible above the beautiful mountain town of Chamonix, Mont Blanc is a
challenging climb which requires determination and an excellent level of fitness.
Our itinerary is designed to allowfit and experienced walkers, who have little or no
experience in alpine skills, to appreciate the exhilaration of summiting an alpine
peak. Acclimatisation and basic technical training are part of our program for
the first three days as we venture into the mountains, crossing beautiful glaciers
under a stunning backdrop of snowy peaks and jagged mountains. During these
days our guides will train you in the use of an ice axe, crampons and basic rope
techniques. Fully prepared, we focus on our ascent of Mont Blanc. We schedule
3 days for the climb, allowing us two chances of reaching the summit, giving
our groups a significant advantage and better chance of success. Travelling in
teams of 2 clients to 1 guide during the ascent, and often roped up, you will learn
to work as a team and move together efficiently in a challenging mountain environment. Summit day is a long and tiring
day, however the views from the summit are magnificent and more than just reward for our efforts.
