We had Swedish ex-ice hockey pro, Patric Kjellberg, here a couple of weeks ago doing a nine day Alpine Climbing Course with Chamonix Experience guide Octavio Defazio. Patric started his mountaineering career from scratch this week but with a high level of fitness he made fast progress.
He wants to build his mountaineering experience step by step and starting with Chamonix Experience’s Alpine Climbing Course is a good beginning. This course is an ideal base for anyone who wishes to learn skills for future climbing, whether the goal is the great peaks of the Himalayas or mellow glacier treks in the Alps. (more…)

Chamonix Experience’s Mont Blanc weeks often do the traverse of the Vallee Blanche as preparation for the ascent of Mont Blanc but it can also be done as a one-day outing. It is one of the most spectacular glacier treks of the Alps and great introduction to the high alpine environment. Accompanied by a high-mountain guide, it is an mountaineering adventure accessible even for the novice alpinist.
We take the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi and continue across to the Italian side with the little “Panoramic” gondola. That journey in itself is a breathtaking experience as you are looking down on the gaping holes and towering seracs of the landscape that you are about to walk through. Arriving at Helbronner on the Italian side you have time for a coffee, Italian-style, at the little café at the top before heading out on the glacier.
For a glacier trek like this you need proper mountaineering boots, crampons, ice axe and harness. All items can be hired and your guide will show you how to use it and how to rope up for safety. You need to bring a picnic as you are out for the whole day.
As you can tell from the photos, it is a very impressive landscape that you are walking through and you are surrounded by famous peaks like Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc du Tacul, Tour Ronde and Grand Capucin.

If you would like to visit spectacular waterfalls and canyons, not only from the viewing platform but actually walking, sliding, swimming and abseiling down one, you should try canyoning. IT IS SOOOO MUCH FUN!
Your guide will make sure you have all the right equipment (wetsuit, helmet and harness) and instruct you how to use it. He/she accompanies the group at all times and looks after everyone’s safety. No previous skills required other than the ability to swim.
