This 4-day Mont Blanc course & ascent will provide you with the basic techniques and training to live a one-of-a-kind experience at this iconic peak in the Alps.
Climbing the highest peak in Western Europe (4810m) is a demanding challenge that requires a very good fitness level. Some experience with walking in crampons or using an ice-axe will also come in handy, although we will have the chance to practice these mountaineering techniques during our first two days together.
In order to maximize your chances of reaching the summit, we'll spend the first two days climbing nearby routes like the Pointe Lachenal traverse or the Arete des Cosmiques. Then, we'll approach the Mont Blanc summit in 2 days via Gouter or Cosmiques route.
Gouter route, also known as the "normal route", is the most popular way of ascending this mountain. The starting point is Nid d’Aigle (2372 m).
Cosmiques route, also called traverse of "Les Trois Monts" (Three Peaks), involves climbing three peaks in the Mont Blanc massif. This climbing route starts at Aiguille du Midi (3842 m).
Would you like to join this 4-day course to the majestic Mont Blanc? Send me a booking request! I will be glad to be your guide on this outstanding adventure in the Alps.

Mountain Guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

Appreciated the professionalism and flexibility of my guide. On summit day, some groups turned back due to the winds, but Kyriakos decided to continue and assess as we got higher up. We ended up making the summit. I appreciated his willingness to put in the effort to continue on instead of just calling it like others did. Great guide and would book with him again.
