Description

With its 4810 meters, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps. Therefore, you HAVE to climb it if you are a true mountaineer! 

To make sure we will be able to climb this giant, we will ascend Gran Paradiso first. This is a relatively easy 4000er, perfect for a warm-up and acclimatization. Then we move to Chamonix, and from the Cosmiques hut we reach the top of the Mont Blanc.

We will ascend via the Aiguille du Midi route. This route goes through Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit and finally Mont Blanc. The views from the top will stay with you forever!

This is a rather demanding excursion and you need to be in good shape. The days are very long! You also need to have some mountaineering experience. In particular, you have to be able to climb on rock and ice, on steep terrain. In fact, I recommend to do a 4000er training beforehand.

Do you want to get to this world-famous summit? Then please send me a request to start this adventure!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
