At 4,808m / 15,774ft., Mont Blanc is one of the most iconic mountains in the world, as well as a highly coveted summit being the highest peak in Western Europe and the birthplace of mountaineering. Mont Blanc is equally beautiful and challenging, and we are very excited to offer this climb in a style that fits with our other programs.


Climbing in the European Alps is unique in that tram access from Chamonix valley to the glaciated climbing terrain of the Mont Blanc massif allows one to acclimate very quickly. With lavish mountain huts situated throughout the Mont Blanc massif, we travel light knowing that our meals and a comfortable bed await! We can easily review climbing techniques such as self-arrest, rope travel, cramponing, then make our summit attempt when the weather window is optimal.


For climbers continuing with us to climb the Matterhorn, we journey a few hours from Chamonix to Zermatt, perhaps an equally beautiful setting located in the Swiss Alps. The Matterhorn, although slightly less in elevation than Mont Blanc, is technically more challenging because of the steep rock ridgelines we ascend on our way to the summit.
