Climb into the European sky and take on the tallest mountain in the Alps on a six-day guided mountaineering program with training and acclimatization! Get used to the equipment and the terrain for a few days before heading to the peak of Mont Blanc and reaching its summit 4,810 meters high!
Located in the southeast of France up from Chamonix, Mont Blanc towers over the Italian border and beckons to mountain climbers and alpinists across the globe. Its 4,810-meter summit is an absolute must for climbers who want to test their might and look out across Western Europe from its highest point. With a number of mountain huts and routes, it is a favorite in the climbing community for its mixed climbing and outstanding views.
If you have always dreamt of reaching this peak, here is your chance! Come with me on a fun and rewarding trip to the top, starting with some practice runs in the region to set us up for success. I will lead you on a safe introduction to the greater Chamonix area, teaching and revisiting techniques and skills on modest objectives. After we have spent a few days getting accustomed to the height and the equipment, we will load up for an attempt at Mont Blanc.
Our trip will begin near Chamonix with a great introductory climb of Arete des Cosmiques or a comparable objective. After a night in Chamonix, we will dive into the “hut life” while mastering our climbing skills. Our focus for the first three days will be on equipment use, rock movement, climbing technique, and the fundamental tools you will need for a successful run at our main objective.
On day four, we will put our plan into motion and head for the summit of Mont Blanc. This will be a three day climb that is challenging, exhilarating, and completely rewarding. My experience and preparation will ensure we have a safe and satisfying climb where you can focus on having a blast. You will walk on glaciers, grapple with roping techniques, buff up on crampon skills, and so much more.
This is a serious sustained climb, so you should be in good physical shape and have basic crampon and climbing experience. You should also be mentally prepared for a six-day journey into the heights of the Alps.
So what are you waiting for? Book this six-day Mont Blanc ascent with training and acclimatization NOW and give yourself a complete Alpine experience on an iconic French peak!

Had an amazing day with Ivan! He showed multible places and helped us with the difficulty of understanding an outdoor boulder. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to boulder in nature and has no experiance outside the gym yet.

Daniel
Great trip. Ivan is an excellent guide and full of good advice to improve my climbing. Heknew just which boulders to pick to challenge me without being too hard for a first time climbing outdoors. I would recommend this experience to anybody visiting Fontainbleu, whatever your level.

We had a fantastic time on our guided day-tour of bouldering in Fontainebleau. I would highly recommend this experience, especially if you don't have a rental car, or if you want to maximize your limited climbing time in Fontainebleau. Our guide, Léo, was very fun and knowledgeable, helping with beta and finding interesting boulders of suitable difficulty (one girl in our group was far more advanced at climbing than the other 2 of us, and Leo was able to find bouldering areas where we could still be in close proximity to each other). He also brought some delicious homegrown strawberries from his own farm which was amazing and unexpected!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
