Description

Ready to conquer your first mountain? This beginner-friendly glacier day in the iconic Mont Blanc is your stepping stone to thrilling alpine adventures.

Learn vital skills for tackling peaks like Gran Paradiso and Capanna Margherita. Master crampon magic on snowy slopes, rope techniques, and ice axe maneuvers under expert guidance - the perfect program for beginners preparing for their first mountaineering expedition.

Test your high-altitude mettle! This training helps gauge your body's response to thin air, giving you a head start on acclimatization and boosting your chances of summiting that 4,000m peak with ease.

For those aiming for more challenging mountaineering endeavors with increased technical difficulties, a portion of the day will be dedicated to training on mixed terrains, such as an easy rock ridge, or on equipped trails. Push your limits on easy rock ridges and trails with dedicated sections for those seeking extra challenge and preparing for tougher peaks.
