Mont Blanc

My 6 day Mont Blanc programme is designed to accommodate your level of fitness and climbing ability, in addition to the diverse weather conditions of the Chamonix valley. Through various preparatory ascents and nights in mountain huts we will prepare you for climbing to the roof of Europe.

In keeping with our high standards of course content and safety, this course is for a maximum of 4 people.

The first 3 days of the course will allow us to revise your knowledge and skills, whilst allowing you to adjust to the altitude. Chamonix Guiding then reserves the last 3 days for the ascent of Mont Blanc. This programme with a supplementary day increases our chances of reaching the summit
