I invite you to discover the world of mountaineering in the space of two unforgettable and magical days, with a gentle climb to the Aiguille du Tour (3544m), in the Mont Blanc Massif.
The Aiguille du Tour is a sharp needle peak, located on the border between France and Switzerland. It is one of the easiest summits to reach in Mont Blanc via its normal route, graded F (easy). Actually, it is a great first 3000-meter ascent to venture yourself into mountaineering!
Our tour departs from the little village of Le Tour in France (1450m), near Chamonix. From the ski lifts of the ski area, we begin our climb to the comfortable Albert Premier Refuge (2702m), where we will enjoy a beautiful sunset and spend the night. In the afternoon, we will have some practice on the glacier.
Next morning, we will enjoy a spectacular sunrise from the hut, and the firts sunlight on the stunning high peaks around us. We will then begin our ascent to the Aiguille du Tour summit. From the top, you will be amazed by a breathtaking 360º view of the entire Mont Blanc massif and other mythical mountains of the Alps.
Don’t hesitate to send me a request if you want to join me on this Aiguille du Tour ascent! Book your trip and reach the summit of a great peak in the Mont Blanc massif.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
