Description
Head into the depths of the Mont Blanc massif on a 1-day hike designed specifically for beginners, and witness some of the most spectacular alpine scenery.
As we advance forward on the glacier watch as the clear crystal ice smoothly blends into the blue skies.
The dramatic alpine scenery is a huge reward for such a convenient and simple approach. The thrill of the glacial hike will trigger a deeper passion and appreciation for the high mountains as well as mountaineering.
During the action-packed day you’ll gain all the necessary skills for glacier mountaineering, as well as becoming familiar with the usage of an ice axe, crampons and climbing rope.
Even more, you’ll become accustomed to some of the core safety rules for glacier mountaineering.
The exact location of the hike will depend on the specific physical preparation of the group, which has a minimum number of four participants. We will choose between the Colle del Gigante, the Colle d’Entreves, or a particular spot on the corner of the glacier.
Once we’re on the glacier, we’ll get up close and personal with the vertical granite spires surrounding us, offering incredible alpine views.
Along the way you’ll also get to learn information about the mountain environment, focussing on geology, meteorology and glaciology.
Potential participants don’t need to have any previous mountaineering experience on glaciers. Just an eagerness to learn and a curiosity for the mountains are required.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the breathtaking alpine scenery for a 1-day glacial hike for beginners on the classic Mont Blanc massif.

Sebastian
Great guide and tour. We were, however looking for a way more educational glacier tour, focussing on technique, safety, rescuing from crevasses etc. This was also what we requested, and this tour was then suggested by you.

Life changing experience to be hiking Helbronner! From start to finish this was a great experience to explore the Glacier, learn about the mountains and the equipment and be with great people. There was a lot of help and support prior to the trip for all the equipment and planning, and during the hike it was simply a very fun, safe and informative experience. Very highly recommended hiking for anyone!
