Description

Chamonix is a classic destination for mountaineering. In this occasion, I invite you in particular to join me in a traverse of Vallee Blanche, in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif. 

This is a great option for a summer mountaineering adventure in a high mountain environment. The wilderness sensation and the incredible views are waiting for you!

We will meet at the Aiguille du Midi cablecar in Chamonix early in the morning, to make the most of this traverse. We will take the lift up to Aiguille du Midi, at 3800 meters. From there, we will descend the arete, which is exposed, until we reach the glacier, at 3500 meters. Then we will cross the glacier and head to Italian territory, progressing between crevasses. All the way we will be surrounded by stunning 4000ers. The panorama is simply magnificent! To end the day, upon reaching Punta Helbroner, in Italy, we will enjoy a break and take the cablecar down to Chamonix.

This trip can be planned as a one-day program or as a multi-day activity if we combine it with some other great ascents in the area. For example, we can also ascend Dent du Geant or the Cosmiques Arete at Aiguille du Midi. Other options include the Aiguilles d’Entreves traverse, the Pyramide du Tacul, the Trident du Tacul, the Tour Ronde or the Rochefort Arete. Or, if we plan an ascent to Mont Blanc by the Trois Monts route, this Vallee Blanche traverse is the perfect acclimatization program.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.
