Description

Climbing to the top of Mont Blanc (4810 m), the highest peak of the Alps, is a dream for most mountain lovers.

The ascent to the summit has become very popular and it offers a rewarding experience. However, due to the high altitude, and mountain, and glacier conditions, this climb is not one to underestimate. The routes can be also very crowded sometimes.

This 3-day ascent is perfect for climbers with a very good fitness level and previous acclimatization or prepared for a long effort at altitude. Also, you must have some mountaineering skills, such as walking in crampons, using an ice axe, etc.

Join me on this 3-day ascent to the highest peak in the Alps - request to book this trip!

Disclaimer

Please keep in mind you are booking my availability for the duration of the tour. Although Mont Blanc is the ultimate objective, if conditions are unsafe, we will have to adapt the program and climb another mountain. We will consider mountaineering in Monte Rosa or other options in the Chamonix area. Although I understand that it might be frustrating, safety is a top priority. Canceling due to bad / unsafe conditions will not be possible as my dates will be blocked for you.

There are plenty of alternative options in case the conditions are not suitable to go for Mont Blanc. We will choose the best alternative plan depending on the weather and mountain/route conditions, and the client's fitness and skill level. To show you as an example, and just to mention a few, some of the possible alternative plans could be:

Mont Blanc du Tacul Mont Maudit Arête des Cosmiques Aiguille d’Entreves Vallee Blanche Traverse Tour Ronde Éperon des Cosmiques Aiguille du Tour Dent du Géant Arete des Papillons

Mikel was perfect for me. It was the perfect guide. It was there to help me, to explain to me everything to show me the rute of the track, to give me advices about what i can improve or at what i’m good at. I would really love to have him again and climb another pick together. It was amazing. The all journey was so amazing that i started to cry of happiness and beautiful. The food from the huts were so so good and i’m a vegetarian ( eating cheese, love french cheese, eggs, milk)

Unexperienced guide, assigned only 2 days before the beginning of the trip. We changed the trip to a much simpler and less demanding hike when we found out the weather wasn't good, but when we asked if we could get partial refund, we were met with a deafening silence...
