Description
Description
Rising to 4,808 meters (15,774 feet) in elevation, Mont Blanc is the perfect spot for a Chamonix ski touring adventure!
Western Europe's highest peak dominates the southern skyline of the picturesque resort town of Chamonix and is a great spot of a 4-day outing.
Our adventure begins at the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc train station. From here, we will head into the mountains via the Aiguille du Midi cable car.
The rest of our first day will be spent going over some glacial ski touring techniques as we head to the Cosmiques refuge (3613m).
From here, we will spend more time skiing around Mont Blanc, heading to the Vallée Blanche and back down to Chamonix.
The final day of the trip will be set aside to go out on a high, literally, as we get an early start and head up to the summit of Mont Blanc.
Depending on the weather, however, we will also have the chance to head up the iconic French peak on the second or third day as well, and slightly abbreviate the program.
Regardless of when we head up to the top, we will be greeted by absolutely stunning views of the Chamonix and Aosta Valleys as well as over some of the other most iconic mountain peaks in the range.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this tough but rewarding 4-day Chamonix ski touring adventure with an ascent of Mont Blanc!
