Description
Mont Blanc (4807m) is the highest peak in Europe and a big dream for ambitious mountaineers. I invite you to join me on this 6-day guided ascent and reach the summit of this majestic mountain, with a previous ascent to Gran Paradiso (4061m).
This programme is designed for those who do not have the opportunity to prepare themselves for the ascent or for those who want to try the climb without necessarily having great experience behind.
Step by step, I will guide you on this challenging adventure, from the basics of mountaineering to the great glaciers of the Alps, until we reach the spectacular Mont Blanc summit.
The ascent of Mont Blanc will be preceded by the ascent of Gran Paradiso, another important peak in the Alps**.** At its 4061m, Gran Paradiso is a great test for those who want to push themselves higher.
The first 4 days of this programme will be devoted to acclimatization, and we will tackle the most important issues for a correct approach to the ascent of Mont Blanc. The last two days will be dedicated to the actual ascent of Mont Blanc.
We will try to provide you with the information and skills you need for correct altitude behavior and the basic parameters to understand your real potential in the mountains. The Mont Blanc ascent should never be underestimated and you need to be objective in assessing your skills.
Progression on ice, rope maneuvers, crevass recovery, altitude behavior and resource management will be some of the topics and skills we will practice during these days. Please note you need a good physical condition to join this ascent. We will climb with crampons and ice axes on slopes at 45°.
If you want to reach the summit of the mythical Mont Blanc, just send me a request. Book your trip and let’s start planning this unique adventure.
If you want to train yourself with previous ascents before Mont-Blanc, you can check my Matterhorn or Gran Paradiso guided ascent tours.

I have been working as a mountain guide for more than ten years, and I still love my job very much! The great mountains of the Alps are my favorite playground: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso are my favorite destinations.
Great summer ascents and magnificent ski mountaineering tours in winter and spring.

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!

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.
