Conquer the summit of Mont Blanc in 2 days, climbing via the Italian Gonella route, one of the the most accessible and safest ways to the top of the most famous mountain in the Alps.
We will meet in Chamonix or Courmayeur on the first day. During this 2-day ascent, you will discover the wilderness of the Italian side of Mont Blanc. After entering Val Veny we start trekking the Bionnassay glacier. Approximately 6 hours of hiking through the glacier will take us to the Gonella hut where we will stay overnight.
On the second day, we will continue climbing the Gonella glacier to the Pitons des Italiens, the Dome de Gouter, until we reach the Mont Blanc summit (4810m). Once at the top, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains. Then we will go down the French slope to the Mont Blanc train and then to Chamonix.
Although the Mont Blanc crossing does not require and advanced technique, it is important to have a good fitness level to walk long distances, specially for trekkers who want to venture themselves into mountaineering.

Carlos is a very experienced guide and a fantastic person to be in the mountains with. Thanks to Carlos me and my son of 21 years old reached the top of Mont Blanc from the Italian side and descended on the French side. Even though it was a hard and tough route, It was an unforgettable trip with only positive memories.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
