Description

If you have some previous mountaineering experience, a great fitness level and enjoy demanding challenges, I invite you to conquer the summit of the famous Mont Blanc (4808m) in just 1 day!

Standing over the beautiful Chamonix Valley, the legendary Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps and a dream ascent for mountaineers from all over the world.

We will start our adventure at midnight, from the village of Les Houches (1050m), 6 kilometres from Chamonix. This intense rapid ascent I propose is a truly demanding climb. Mont Blanc is usually climbed on at least 2 days, but we will reach the summit and descend to the valley in just 1 day. It will be an unforgettable ascent via the Gouter Route.

So, in order to join this program, you need to have an excellent fitness level, as we will climb without the help of ski lifts and we won’t spend a night in the refuge, as most climbers do before attempting the summit. You also need to have previous high mountain experience, on a climb of at least 3 days.

The Gouter Route is considered the fastest way to the Mont Blanc summit, once you reach the Gouter Hut. It is also the classic and most popular route. Of course, we will have a break at the hut on our way up and when we descend.

From the hut to the summit the terrain is mostly glaciated, and requires the use of harness, crampons and ropes. We will enjoy a truly spectacular view from the top of Mont Blanc!

If you want to join me on this unique 1-day ascent, just send me a request. Book your trip and let’s start planning this challenging climb to the mythical Mont Blanc!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
