Climb Western Europe's highest peak - tough but hugely satisfying

The week is split between Chamonix and the mountain huts of the Mont Blanc Massif, spending a number of days practising skills and techniques on snow and ice before taking on Mont Blanc itself. After training on the Mer de Glace (the massif's largest glacier) there is a three-day expedition, overnighting in mountain refuges as the guide puts you through your paces in preparation for the summit attempt ahead. During the expedition a rewarding lower peak will usually be climbed, teaching skills and helping with acclimatisation. The climb of Mont Blanc (4810m) is attempted by either the Gouter or Cosmiques route depending on departure date: both are physically hard but hugely rewarding. However, as with any Alpine ascent, the prevailing weather conditions may force a change in the intended itinerary or route. Although experience of ice-axe and crampon techniques is an advantage, it is not essential for this climb as training is given.
