    Levels

    Mountaineering
    Beginner
    Mountaineering is a demanding sport; consequently, there is no "beginner" physical level for it. If you have never mountaineered before, you can aim for an intermediate or advanced level.
    Intermediate
    For fit hikers who wish to experience the high mountains. No specific mountaineering skills are required; the crampon work is straightforward. Guides are on hand to provide instruction and ensure your safety. The daily elevation gain generally ranges from 700 to a maximum of 1,000 meters.
    Confirmed
    For those who engage in endurance or mountain sports (running, cycling, trail running, rock climbing, trekking, etc.) three or more times a week. You are capable of hiking for long hours in the mountains and ascending around 1,500 meters in a single day. Ideally, you have some prior high-altitude experience (such as walking in crampons), though this is not essential if you are in excellent physical condition. To aid acclimatization, it is recommended to go mountain hiking in the days leading up to the trip.
    Advanced
    For those who regularly practice endurance or mountain sports (running, cycling, trail running, rock climbing, trekking, etc.)—at least four times a week. You are capable of hiking for over eight hours in the mountains and ascending between 1,500 and 2,000 vertical meters in a single day. You have mastered crampon techniques. Prior mountaineering experience (ascents or ice training) is mandatory.
    Expert
    For those in excellent physical condition who regularly engage in mountain activities (rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, etc.): you have mastered mountaineering techniques and are capable of undertaking climbs rated D or higher.

Hi, I'm Patrick, a high-mountain guide and native of the Piedmont region. I became a high-mountain guide in 2018 and since then, I've never left the peaks! As a mountain rescue instructor, I love sharing my experience and knowledge. Whether it's on Monte Rosa, in my native Piedmont, or in the Aosta Valley, the Italian Alps are my playground and my home.

    Day 1

Note

Since the summer of 2021, all reservations at the mountain huts on the normal route of Mont Blanc (Tête Rousse Hut and Goûter Hut) are mandatory and non-transferable for the ascent. Reservations open at the end of the year for the following summer. Therefore, we register participants subject to availability at the Tête Rousse and Goûter Huts when their reservations open.

Above 4,000 meters, wind or bad weather often makes the ascent impossible or too dangerous. We anticipate these factors as best we can to make the best decisions and maximize your chances of reaching the summit. The high-mountain guide accompanying you knows Mont Blanc intimately; he is the sole authority on board and best qualified to assess the feasibility of the climb. Ultimately, the decision to proceed or not rests solely with him.

For this course, we confirm the possibility of attempting the climb two days before departure. However, high-mountain weather remains unpredictable (a frequent occurrence in Chamonix). The guide may therefore decide to modify the program or cancel the attempt on the morning of departure if safety conditions require it. When weather conditions necessitate a program adjustment for the safety of the group, this adjustment will not be eligible for a refund.
