< Go Back
Mont Blanc Ascent This is an exciting opportunity to climb Mont Blanc (4808m.) led by professional UIAGM guides.

The week is based in Chamonix,France and the mountain huts of the Mont Blanc Massif. The first few days will be used to practise snow and ice skills, and this is followed by some warm-up climbs and scrambles to reach some other lower summits; possibly the Aig de Tour, Tete Blanche or the Petit Fourche. These will be rewarding in their own right as demanding peaks and will aid your acclimitisation as we hope to reach 3500 metres. The attempt on the Mont Blanc itself gives you the chance to stand on top of Western Europe’s highest mountain! Experience of ice-axe and crampon techniques is recommended but not essential for this climb as training is given and technical equipment can be hired in Chamonix. It is essential to read the Trip Notes, as these give full detail of the likely conditions.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.

Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.

Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.

Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.

Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.
