Description

Summit the highest peak in western Europe on this exceptional Mont Blanc (4,810 m) 2-day guided ascent via the Gouter Route!

Located in the heart of the Alps, Mont Blanc lies along the French-Italian border and reaches into Switzerland. Rising 4,810 meters above sea level, this summit is known as the roof of Europe and presents the ultimate challenge for advanced climbers.

Our 2-day expedition will start at the beautiful French commune of Les Houches. Early in the morning we’ll take the Cogwheel train to Nid d’Aigle (2,370 meters) which is located just 200 meters away from the top of the Mont Blanc Tramway. Then, from there, we’ll set off on the Gouter Route to the summit of Mont Blanc.

Regarding our accommodation, we’ll spend the night at the Gouter refugee (3,800 m). Participants will discover a cozy and comfortable place to prepare for our Mont Blanc summit attack. For a more detailed description of the trip, take a look at the itinerary below!

The key to success on Mont Blanc is preparation. Therefore, this mountaineering expedition is suitable for experienced climbers only. Additionally, it’s very important to be in great physical condition as well. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you.

Mountain Guide

Hello everyone, my name is Carlo Alberto Montorsi, I was born 38 years ago in Sassuolo.
Since 2008, due to my love for these places and the work that I was beginnig, I moved in the Apennines of Reggio Emlia, in the town of Toano.
I’m a UIAGM ( union International associations guides de montagne) mountain guide since 2010.
To become a mountain guide has been a difficult and challenging path, which lasted four years. My instructors taught me to maintain the maximum safety possible, for me and my clients, in situations that could be dangerous if not correctly managed.

Our work includes several activities according to each season. We teach courses, and accompany our clients in the mountains.
In the summer: mountaineering, rock climbing, via ferrata, mountaneering in the high mountains (4000 mt and over), canyoning and hiking.
In the winter: winter mountaneering, ski off piste, ski touring, ice climbing, hikes with snowshoes, lectures on safety in the mountains, avalanche awareness, understanding the snow pack.
We can teach complex things to our students in an outdoor environment, that nowadays more and more people are searching for. You can feel strong emotions, explore the exposure, enjoy the adrenaline rush of unusual activities, all in complete safety.
I deeply love my job and the place where I live. When I accompany people the mountains, I take them into my world, where I’m an expert, but where they are not used to being.
For this reason they can be overwhelmed by emotions, and the beauty of the mountains, suddenly they realize they are able to do things that they never thought of being able to do, and they are happy.
When I teach, I like to do my best, every day I learn something new from my student’s, how to teach better, how to help them learn more effectively. And when they become independent and they call me to ask me advice on how to deal with ascents and to tell me how their adventures went, it fills me with pride.
I like to describe my job with these words:
I am a realizer of dreams.

I teach the passion with passion.

We could help you to enjoy yourselves, we’ll help you experience real emotions in the mountains, allowing you to discover the wild mountains, but especially you’ll discover places inside yourself that you didn’t know

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.
