Climb Mont Blanc – Europe’s Highest Peak (4,810 m)
Join us for an unforgettable 6-day guided climb to Mont Blanc, which is a magnet that draws climbers from all over the world. Experience true alpine adventure, with professional UIAGM-certified mountain guides keeping you safe every step of the way.
Our 6-day program is designed to give you everything you need for a successful and safe ascent: technical training, glacier skills, acclimatization, and expert guidance throughout the entire climb.
Learn essential high-mountain skills – walking with crampons, using an ice axe, ice climbing, and moving safely on exposed terrain. Acclimatize on Mont Blanc du Tacul (4,248 m) before tackling the summit, ensuring you’re fully prepared.
After a rest day in Chamonix (with optional light climbing), we begin the final two-day ascent to the summit of Mont Blanc — guided by professionals, with respect for the mountain, and with real adventure guaranteed.
Mont Blanc Ascent Itinerary – Day by Day
Day 1 – Mer de Glace Glacier
We take the mountain train from Chamonix to Montenvers and continue to the Mer de Glace. Here, we practice correct crampon technique, using an ice axe, and climbing vertical ice with two technical tools. We also go through basic glacier safety and ice belaying techniques.
Day 2 – Mont Blanc du Tacul
We take the cable car to Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) and continue across the glacier to the base of Mont Blanc du Tacul. This mixed snow-and-rock ascent is perfect preparation for the main climb. We descend back the same way.
Day 3 – Rock climbing around Chamonix
A break from snow and ice – we enjoy a day of rock climbing on one of the classic Chamonix granite pillars.
Day 4 – Acclimatization / Rest Day
A relaxed day in Chamonix with optional easy climbing and preparation for the summit push.
Day 5 – Start of the Mont Blanc Ascent
We take the train to Nid d’Aigle (2,380 m) and continue on foot to Refuge de la Tête Rousse (3,180 m). After a short rest we climb to Refuge du Goûter (3,815 m), where we stay overnight before the summit day.
Day 6 – Summit Day: Mont Blanc (4,810 m)
We start before sunrise from Refuge du Goûter, ascend past Dôme du Goûter and along the Bosses Ridge to the very top of Mont Blanc. After enjoying the spectacular views, we descend back to Goûter, Tête Rousse, and finally to Nid d’Aigle.
Difficulty of the Mont Blanc Ascent
Mont Blanc requires excellent physical fitness and prior experience with high-mountain terrain. Technical difficulty ranges from UIAA I–III, depending on conditions and the chosen variant.
You will be roped up for the entire ascent and descent, which significantly increases safety in exposed and glaciated sections.

FAQ:
What happens if the climb cannot take place due to bad weather?
Mountain weather is unpredictable, so we always monitor the current conditions closely.
If conditions become unsafe, the ascent may be postponed or adjusted.
As an alternative, we can climb another peak in the Alps where conditions are more favorable.
Thanks to backup accommodation reservations, we have up to three days for the final summit attempt.
