Description
This 3-day Mont Blanc climb will take you the summit of one of the world’s most famous mountains via the classic route to the top. The trip duration is perfect for you to acclimatize properly on your way up, increasing your chance of reaching the objective.
We will start off from Courmayeur and head to the Tête Rousse hut on the first day. Then from there, the following day we will make our way to the Goûter hut. Shorter programs usually skip one of these steps, and therefore, you need to go at a faster pace and have less time to acclimatize. The duration of this program is designed to make sure you don’t rush and that we are all safely ascending at the right pace. On the third day, we will reach the amazing summit of Mont Blanc.
You will need prior mountaineering experience and an excellent fitness level to join this program, however, you don’t need to be an expert as it is not a terribly difficult climb. This doesn’t mean we should underestimate it. There will be a maximum of 2 persons per guide to ensure adequate support for every climber.
Climbing Mont Blanc is an amazing mountaineering accomplishment and we hope that we can guide you to the top of this amazing summit. Contact us today and we will happily answer your questions before you book!

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.
