Mont Blanc in the French/Italian Alps dominates the Chamonix valley with its white majestic dome. Some say it is the most visited natural attraction in the world!
- Climb the highest peak in the Alps
- Moderate snow-climbing in spectacular, history-steeped terrain
- Led by friendly, experienced and qualified guides
Mont Blanc is Europe's highest peak...political Europe that is, since Elbrus in Russia is higher and is a fine ascent for mountaineers of all levels.
There are a variety of routes on Mont Blanc to suit your experience and enthusiasm as well as current conditions. This trip includes an ascent of another high peak in the region to acclimatise prior to attempting Mont Blanc.

An unprofessional company. I booked the Mont Blanc trip, they changed it to a cheaper Gran Paradiso version. The guide is hopeless and impatient. He enjoy scoffing and insulting his client. One could walk at any speed provided that it is his speed. He even pull the rope when I was jumping over a crevasse, then to tell me off for stepping forward and losses the rope! If you miss a turn, he will scoff you again. When I report it to the head office, I got no reply. When pushed, the lady replied that due to the hot weather, guides are like that! And since my guide is from Scotland, she justified: Scot has a sense of humour! That was it. Next time, you all should try Charmonix Experience. It is cheaper and far more professional.
