SKI MONT BLANC

- Summits to Ski -

Summit the world-famous Mont Blanc on an exceptional three day ski touring and mountaineering expedition led by our fully qualified and experienced UIAGM mountain guides.

3 Day Ski Tour Ascent of Mont Blanc

Mont Blanc was first skied in 1930 by a Swiss mountain guide; it has now become the ultimate objective of many ski mountaineers and backcountry skiers. 

Typically, the majority of alpinists summit Mont Blanc during the summer months, on foot and using crampons where necessary. But what could be better than reaching the summit of Western Europe’s highest peak on skis, in the knowledge that you have the joy of a fantastic 3000m off-piste descent? During the ascent and descent you will pass through spectacular glacial structures with deep crevasses and towering seracs.

This course is for experienced ski tourers with a good level of fitness and a love of adventure. Your Chamex mountain guide will ensure that you have the experience of a lifetime, one that very few people can claim to have had.

The key to success on Mont Blanc is preparation; this 3 day course is for those of you who have already done all of the preparation and who just want the security of a professional guide to lead you safely to the summit and back. We recommend that you prepare for this trip with altitude training to help you acclimatise, either here in Chamonix or elsewhere in the Alps.

Safety is our priority and in order to maintain the highest level of security, we stick to a ratio of 1:2 on Mont Blanc (1 mountain guide per 2 clients). Our background in mountain rescue (PGHM Chamonix) means that we are experienced in assessing and reacting to the dangers that high mountain expeditions pose.

We typically take the traditional itinerary via the Refuge des Grands Mulets; this route starts from the Plan de l'Aiguille lift station (2310m) and makes its way between the crevasses of the Les Bossons glacier to the refuge (3051m), which is spectacularly situated on a rocky outcrop in the middle of this imposing glacier. However, your Chamex mountain guide will decide the itinerary that you take depending on the weather, snow conditions and the level of the group.
