Join me for this seven-day adventure on the slopes and summit of Mont Blanc in the picturesque French Alps!
We will rendezvous in Chamonix to check out the gear (which is not included in the cost) and begin breaking it in. No mountaineering experience is required for the trek, but a very high level of physical fitness is.
We will spend four days in and around the luxurious resort town acclimatizing ourselves, while practicing rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering skills. All of this is in preparation for our end goal: summiting Mont Blanc, which is the Alps’ highest peak at 4,807 meters above sea level.
Over the course of these four days we will prepare for reaching the summit of Europe by climbing another of the Alps’ picturesque peaks, which we will determine closer to the time. During this time, we will hike through dramatic alpine scenery.
For the final three days, we will ascend and descend the mountain together. The trek is challenging, but the rewards are even more immense. The top affords sublime views looking down at the sea of the pine forests and seven valleys surrounding the massif.
I recommend that you bring the following: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, warm and waterproof jacket and mountaineering pants, along with the necessary equipment we will scout out upon your arrival.
If you are up for a challenging trek through the Alps, book now for your chance to conquer Europe’s most iconic peak!
We will practice ice climbing, mountaineering, rock climbing skills and techniques in preparation for our ascent of Mont Blanc.
We will use these three days to summit the mountain.

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.
