2-day guided ascent on Mont Blanc via Trois Monts

Breathing in the early morning alpine air we begin our ascent to the majestic Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, and the highest in western Europe.

With our base at the Cosmiques mountain hut (3,613 meters), which is the springboard for numerous classic mountaineering routes, we are in an ideal location to conquer the summit.

We will cross Col du Midi Plateau and start our ascent by skirting the north face of Mont Blanc du Tacul. Then we continue upwards towards the north face of Mont Maudit.

Below the Col du Mont Maudit we will approach the steepest section of the climb, which is usually icy.

Before reaching the summit, we will traverse southwards to Col de la Brenva and continue to it peak, before returning by the same route.

If time is on our side, we can grab the cable car from Aiguille du Midi to Chamonix. However, if the conditions are unfavourable, or if we are moving at a slow speed, we may have to spend another night at the Cosmiques hut, before grabbing the first cable car in the morning.

The day before our ascent we will do a gear check before taking the cable car to the last station. After going through a glacier and reaching the Cosmiques hut we’ll enjoy dinner and do some activities.

Please note that the Trois Monts route is more difficult than the standard Gouter route to the Mont Blanc summit. Prior acclimatization and mountaineering experience are required as well as having an excellent fitness level.

Reserve your place now to conquer the heights of the Alps and climb the summit of the world-famous mountain via the Trois Monts route.
