Our Mont Blanc expeditions run from the end of June through September to take advantage of the best weather and most favorable summit conditions. Whether you’re looking for a group climb or want a customized private climb to expand your skill set, we can arrange an expedition that fits your style and timeframe.
- If these dates don’t work for you, or you would like a private trip and private guide, we also build custom itineraries for many of our climbers.
- You can climb Mont Blanc as a stand-alone climb or dovetail it with other climbs in the Alps, including the Matterhorn and the Eiger. Together, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and the Eiger make up the Alpine Big Three, the ultimate trilogy for any mountaineer.
Our seven-day Mont Blanc expeditions offer a challenging ascent, requiring physical fitness, technical climbing skills, and mental endurance. It’s an infamous and highly sought-after summit that sits on the border of France and Italy with sweeping views that have been enticing climbers for years.
