Tour Details

oin us for a guided ascent of Mont Blanc (4,810m), the highest peak in the Alps, and one of the most iconic mountaineering challenges in Europe. This all-inclusive expedition is led by professional mountain guides and guarantees an unforgettable experience in the heart of the French Alps.

Why Climb Mont Blanc?
The highest peak in Western Europe
  • A classic alpine ascent with stunning glacier landscapes
  • Professional guides & expert planning
  • Multiple route options for different experience levels

Due to increasing restrictions and safety concerns, local authorities have implemented permit requirements and accommodation limitations for climbers on Mont Blanc. To navigate these challenges, our agency organizes group expeditions, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

 

Mont Blanc Ascent – Trois Monts Route

The Trois Monts Route is the most technical and demanding ascent of Mont Blanc in our selection. Despite its difficulty, it is the second most popular route after the Gouter Route, mainly due to the high starting altitude.

This glacier traverse offers stunning ridge-line views, but requires strong mountaineering skills, including steep ice climbing and crevasse navigation.

 

Why Choose Trois Monts?
  • A true high-altitude mountaineering challenge
  • Starts at Aiguille du Midi (3,842m), reducing elevation gain
  • Breathtaking views & exposure
  • Cosmiques Hut stay – famous for its stunning sunsets

Additional cost for the Trois Monts Route: €600 per rope team.
