FAQs: Mountain Climbing in Mont Blanc
What should I know about Mountain Climbing Mont Blanc?
Located in France near the country’s border with Italy, the Mont Blanc massif crowns one of the world’s top alpine playgrounds. With a first recorded summit in 1786, climbing Mont Blanc is a rite of passage for the many climbers that seek to summit the tallest mountain in the Alps (4,810 meters / 15,781 feet). 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.
Why should I choose Mont Blanc for my Mountain Climbing adventure?
Classic mountaineering objective
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.

Great service, everything was smooth and I got all my questions answered very quickly. Gauthier linked us up with a guide that led us through different experiences in such a safe and fun way. I will definitely be coming back.

Although last minute, Explore-Share we able to guide me to a company who provided a fantastic guide to achieve our goal of summiting Mont Blanc last week. Good communication and quick responses - they did a great job!
Daniel
Had a amazing experience with Carlos! He fit lots into a 4 day trip, including multi-pitch rock climbing, mixed climbing, glacier traverse and a 4000m peak. Carlos is well connected in Chamonix and made the trip very easy by taking care of the logistics. He kept me motivated and had a fantastic personality the whole time! Can't wait to climb with him again!

We found Kyriakos to be thorough, professional, even tempered and completely trustworthy. At no point did we notice unnecessary risk or exposure and Kyriakos’s professional manner shone through at all times. We would definately consider using his services again in the future.
