Climb Mont Blanc in 3 or 5 Days

If you are thinking about climbing Mont Blanc, and have little or no mountaineering experience but have a good level of fitness and motivation, then this is the course for you!

3-Day Ascent

You must have previous alpine climbing experience (e.g. Grand Paradiso), or have climbed other peaks using Ice Axe & Crampons (with or without a mountain guide) before you aim for the 3 day Mont Blanc course. Please note that there is no training / no acclimatization, we go straight to the summit!!!

We take the classic "Gouter" route, via the tramway to the Nid d’Aigle (Eagle’s Nest), from where we will climb up to the Tete Rousse hut.

The Mont Blanc summit bid will either be from here or the Gouter hut.

You will need to bring an identity card or passport.

Your high mountain guide:

• High mountain guide (alpinism state qualified)
• English & French speaking
• 1 guide between 2 clients

5-Day Ascent

The preparation for the course is done in the most spectacular environment within the Mont Blanc range, the Tour glacier.

Their 5 day course is designed to allow highly motivated people, with an excellent fitness level, to reach the summit of Mont Blanc - the highest point in Western Europe.

Days 1, 2 are dedicated to mountaineering and technical preparation (snow, ice and rock), done on and around a glacier, including the climb of the Aiguille du Tour, 3540m. Sleeping in a high mountain hut also helps you get acclimatized.

Days 3, 4 and 5 are focused on climbing the Mont Blanc, 4810m: tramway up to the Nid d’Aigle, then climb up to the Tete Rousse hut. Upon conditions the summit of Mont Blanc can be done either from this hut on Day 4 or the Gouter hut on Day 5.

You must have an identity card or passport with you.

Your guide:

• High mountain guide (alpinism state qualified)
