Mont Blanc is one of the top peaks for climbers in Western Europe. Accessible from France’s legendary Chamonix Valley, it is a storied peak that has long attracted mountaineers from around the world.

Hut-to-hut climbing

The slopes of the Mont Blanc are covered by an extensive network of mountain huts and refuges so that you don’t have to worry about carrying your own food or shelter. Because huts fill up quickly during the peak climbing season, book early to reserve your spot in these lively hubs of activity.

Training ground for intermediate climbers

While Mont Blanc is a tough climb suitable for those with some previous mountaineering experience, it is also a great place to train and improve your technical skills before heading off to a higher, more challenging peak.

More Info

Located in France near the country’s border with Italy, the Mont Blanc massif crowns one of the world’s top alpine playgrounds.

While a tough climb that requires solid physical fitness and technical skills, climbers don’t have to be expert mountaineers to tackle the one of the popular routes to the summit.
