Mont Blanc 4808m – Guided Ascent
Climb Mont Blanc with a UIAGM/IFMGA qualified mountain guide.
We offer guided Mt Blanc ascents for private groups and individuals. Each group booking with us will climb with their own private guides.
Our goal is to give you a personal and qualitative experience, therefore we climb with a maximum of 2 persons per mountain guide during the whole Mt Blanc course.
Climbing Mont Blanc from Chamonix
Mont Blanc is not technically a very difficult peak to climb, but still not to be underestimated. A safe ascent of Mt Blanc requires good acclimatisation and physical fitness, and an extensive knowledge of the conditions on this mountain. Together with our experienced Mt Blanc guides and a well prepared Mt Blanc program, chances for success are great on the highest mountain in the Alps.
First our bodies must get used to altitude and less oxygen. Therefore we will climb several peaks before attempting to ascend Mt Blanc. Meanwhile we also get to practise the use of crampons and ice axe.
Depending on your former mountaineering experience and current aspirations we offer a 5- or a 6-day Mont Blanc course. Both programs will include enough time to recover before we ascend Mt Blanc. The goal is not to wear you out during our acclimatisation period but to climb nice peaks, acclimatize and enjoy the Chamonix mountain environment.
Best time
Mid June to mid September.
Ability
You need to be an experienced mountain walker with a good level of fitness.

Being a maximum of 2 clients per guide gives us the option to choose more technical climbs for acclimatization, hence give you the ideal preparation to climb Mt Blanc.
You will get the possibility to improve and learn a lot about mountaineering. Our guides will teach you different techniques how to walk safely and economically with crampons and ice axe, and how to scramble in steeper terrain on rock and ice.
The following program is only a suggestion. There are countless number of climbs in the Chamonix mountain range that offer suitable training while our bodies get used to altitude. We will adjust our program individually to match your level of mountaineering and personal wishes.

The acclimatization program is the same as on the 5-day course. We will keep the 1:2 guide:client ratio during the whole week, in order to be able to climb more fun, technical and spectacular peaks for preparation.
Then we spend 3 days climbing Mt Blanc. This allows for a bit more rest and acclimatization before the summit attempt, as well as splitting up the long descent. It also allows us the cross the Grand Couloir early in the morning both on the way up and down, which is ideal for safety reasons.
The course is suitable even for beginner alpine climbers, if you are fit, adventurous, and like big challenges!
