Dent du Géant Guided Ascent – 2-Day Trip in the Mont Blanc Massif

Embark on a thrilling Dent du Géant guided ascent, one of the most iconic alpine climbs in the Mont Blanc massif. The Dent du Géant (or Aiguille du Géant), standing proudly at 4,013 meters on the border between France and Italy, offers an unforgettable mountaineering experience. This stunning granite spire lies between Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses, straddling the regions of Haute-Savoie and Val d’Aoste.

Thanks to its dramatic appearance, high altitude, and relatively quick access via the Torino Hut and the Skyway cable car, the Dent du Géant is a favorite among alpinists seeking a classic 4,000-meter summit. The climb combines technical challenge with breathtaking scenery, making it a must-do for experienced climbers.

Our Dent du Géant guided ascent follows the normal route (graded AD- with fixed ropes or D without), beginning from the Torino Hut. The route is well-equipped with fixed ropes on the steep sections, particularly from the Burgener slabs to the summit at Pointe Sella, making it a manageable yet exciting climb for fit and prepared mountaineers.

Join us for a professionally guided 2-day adventure to the top of this legendary peak, and experience one of the most rewarding climbs in the Alps with the support and expertise of certified mountain guides.
