Description

If you’ve always fantasized with a Mont Blanc ascent, this is your chance to make your dreams come true! Nicknamed the “giant of the Alps”, the 4810m-high Mont Blanc is the highest summit in Europe.

Conquering this beautiful summit has always been on your to-do list? I’ll be glad to take you on an expedition adapted to your goals and fitness level.

Even if a Mont Blanc ascent doesn’t present much difficulties at a technical level, high altitude and changing weather conditions make for an important challenge that shouldn’t be overlooked. Thus, hiring the services of an IFMGA-certified mountain guide is key to keeping you safe and maximizing your chances of achieving your goal.

My 5-day program follows the Gouter Route up to the summit. I also offer 2-day and 3-day options. Don’t hesitate to inquire about these as well but be aware that you need to be in excellent physical condition and have previous acclimatization.

The 5-day program is probably the best option for those wishing to do a less intense ascent. It also allows more flexibility to acclimatize and to adapt in case of bad weather. If we reach the summit on Day 4 and have a day to spare, I’ll let you choose the activity on Day 5. We can also use this day to postpone the Mont Blanc ascent in case of bad weather.

I’m a certified mountain guide based in the Hautes Alpes and can guide your expedition both in the region (Mercantour, Hautes Alpes, Chamonix) and abroad (Switzerland and Italy). Don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll be happy to guide you to the top of Mont Blanc!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Joshua

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.
