Chamonix is one of the most famous alpine climbing centers in the world and offers endless options for mountaineers.
During this week in Chamonix we will climb some of the most classic mountain ascents and ridges of the Mont Blanc massif, like the Cosmiques, Entrevès, Marbrées, Papillons and Aiguille de Rochefort.
Other possible routes are Perrons, Soldato Crest (Monte Rosa), Fleche Rousse (Aiguille d’Argentière), northeastern side of Ronde and Chapelle de la Glière.
Our itinerary will depend on the physical and technical conditions of the group. Indeed alpine climbing is a very technical sport. Climbers who want to participate in this program need to have the the following skills:
