MOUNTAINERING AND MONT-BLANC ASCENT
Mountaineering is an umbrella term that can variously be used to describe the actions of climbing, hillwalking and scrambling. In it’s usual sense, however, it concerns the ascent of mountains of various stature, using various types and amounts of mountaineering equipment. In this latter sense it is also known as Alpinism.
From hikers and beginners to experienced alpinists, our guides always attentive to your security,
will accompany you on simple routes through to the most difficult, including the famous:
MONT-BLANC ASCENT (web link)
Mont Blanc, highest peak of Europe, is without a doubt the most beautiful mountain in the world and every year many mountaineers try to ascend this famous French peak.
Under-estimated by many people, the ascent is a relatively simple snow route, but requires a high level of physical fitness for this very long high altitude ascent!
The summit day, the ascent and descent requires 10 to 12 hours of continuous effort!
