* Reach the summit of the highest mountain in the Alps
* Enjoy breathtaking views from the top of Mont Blanc
* Stay overnight in the Gonella mountain hut
Conquer the summit of Mont Blanc in 2 days, climbing via the Italian Gonella route, one of the the most accessible and safest ways to the top of the most famous mountain in the Alps.
We will meet in Chamonix or Courmayeur on the first day. During this 2-day ascent, you will discover the wilderness of the Italian side of Mont Blanc. After entering Val Veny we start trekking the Bionnassay glacier. Approximately 6 hours of hiking through the glacier will take us to the Gonella hut where we will stay overnight.
On the second day, we will continue climbing the Gonella glacier to the Pitons des Italiens, the Dome de Gouter, until we reach the Mont Blanc summit (4810m). Once at the top, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains. Then we will go down the French slope to the Mont Blanc train and then to Chamonix.
Although the Mont Blanc crossing does not require and advanced technique, it is important to have a good fitness level to walk long distances, specially for trekkers who want to venture themselves into mountaineering.
If you want to reach the summit of Mont Blanc via the Gonella route, don’t hesitate to contact me. Book your trip and let me guide on this great ascent.
I also guide a 2-day Mont Blanc ascent via the Gouter route and a 3-day Mont Blanc ascent with acclimatization.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
