Additional Information:
To consider climbing the Mont Blanc over 2 days, previous mountaineering is required and to be correctly trained for this project.
To optimize the chances of success, there are several conditions to be considered:
- favorable weather conditions
- good physical condition of participant
- program flexibility (The program presented is the one we will follow if it remains to be the most favorable to the company's success)
For your own security and that of your guide, along with the technicality of this itinerary, only 1 person per guide will be allowed.
- Climbing the Mont Blanc requires a good physical condition with practising an endurance sport, such as running or cycling.
If, however, it is not possible to climb the Mont Blanc during the 2 days, we will endeavour to climb an alternative peak of your choice and will refund the difference if it is executed.
