6-Day Mont Blanc Expedition with Climb Mont Blanc

This program features a climb of two 4000-meter peaks over 6 days, with the first 3 days devoted to an acclimatization ascent to Gran Paradiso and the last 3 days for ascending Mont Blanc. The price is £1650 per person.

Mont Blanc Ascent Schedule

The ascent to Mont Blanc is scheduled to be completed in 3 days, but in case of adverse weather conditions, we can extend our stay up to 2 additional days at the Gouter hut, waiting for the weather to improve. If conditions are favorable and we have extra days, we consider the possibility of climbing two additional mountains over 4000 meters. The choice of these mountains will depend on the good physical condition of the group. If the group is too fatigued for further climbs, we will opt for more relaxed hiking routes.

Duration of the Ascent: Although the climb is planned for 3 to 4 days, we have reserved a full week for the trip. This flexibility allows us to adapt to the mountain's unpredictable weather conditions and significantly increases our chances of successfully reaching the summit.
