Mont Blanc - Premium Package
Mont Blanc Ascent: a true challenge
Climbing Mont Blanc requires excellent physical fitness and solid mountaineering experience. Around 4,600 m, the route now includes a steep section that demands perfect mastery of crampon techniques. For this reason, at least two days of prior mountaineering experience with crampons are mandatory before signing up. Our Beginner mountaineering course, Aiguille du Tour, Vincent Pyramid programmes provide the ideal setting to acquire the necessary skills.
The Chamonix des Guides de Chamonix: unique expertise
Founded in 1821, the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix has always been closely linked to Mont Blanc and has developed, over generations, a unique expertise in guiding mountaineers to its summit. This 4-day programme includes one day of acclimatisation followed by a three-day ascent. During these four days, you share the experience exclusively with your guide, whose expertise is fully dedicated to you.
When is the best time to climb?
There is no such thing as a “perfect period” for Mont Blanc. Conditions vary from year to year. Global warming and frequent heatwaves can lead to excessive temperatures from mid-June to early September. Early in the season, abundant snow can make progress more difficult, while late in the season can bring early-autumn weather. Ultimately, the success of your ascent depends on your flexibility and your ability to adapt to the conditions at the time.
ITINERARY
Route at altitude to acclimatise
This first day is designed to help you settle in and get to know your guide. It also gives your body some time to adapt to physical effort at altitude. Examples of routes include: Traverse of the Aiguilles Crochues (2840m), Traverse of the Pointes Lachenal (3613m).

EQUIPMENT
We recommend you take particular care over you choice of equipment, as it plays a large role in the success of your trip. Weight is critical, and you must always evaluate the weight-to-comfort ratio to find the best compromise. Weather conditions can be extremely variable: from 20ºC on the approach route to the hut, to -15ºC on the summit (like a cold winter’s day in a ski resort). Generally speaking, it is better to put on several thin layers than to have one bulky item of warm clothing, and it is vital that you remain dry at all times.
