At 4810m, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps.
It's a tough objective and an awesome peak in a huge range. If successful, you will have the most enormous sense of satisfaction. The highest peak in the Alps is a wonderful summit with great views all the way across to the Matterhorn on a clear day!
The course has six guiding days. This gives you the chance to learn crampon, rope and ice-axe techniques, complete some training routes on smaller peaks and still give sufficient time for the ascent. We recommend this course duration, because it gives you the most realistic chance of summit success by enabling proper acclimatisation.it with great views all the way across to the Matterhorn on a clear day!
Please note there are several dates available for this challenge
