Description
The summit of Mont Blanc, regardless of the chosen route, offers an undeniably powerful and emotional experience. Achieving this goal demands exceptional aerobic fitness, solid mountaineering expertise, and thorough acclimatization to high altitude.
I propose to tackle the climb from the Cosmiques Refuge and climb the Trois Mont Blanc route, which can be more difficult than the normal route but is definitely more interesting.
Naturally, based on the availability of the refuges, it is possible to change the choice of the ascent route. It is necessary to book well in advance (months before your intended ascent) in order to have the possibility of finding a place in the refuge.
This and other routes to Mont Blanc involve significant hazards like falling ice, rocks, and crevasses. Strong mountaineering skills and speed are essential to minimize risk.
With thorough preparation and my expert guidince we can mitigate these risks and maximize our chances of a successful and safe ascent. Want to embark on this quest? Contact me today to start planning your Mont Blanc climb!

What people are saying about Giovanni
Jep
Giovanni was a very friendly and skilled guide. We were able to follow routes that matched our level, which challenged us and allowed us to learn a lot. We appreciated that Giovanni gave us the time to figure things out for ourselves on the wall, rather than hovering over us. His guiding style was therefore very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him!
