Everyone dreams of it, because it is the roof of WESTERN Europe. (The highest summit in EUROPE seems to be, despite the controversy over “where does geographical Europe end, where does the waters divide”, the ELBRUS / Elbrus 5642 m, of which we are the N 1 European specialist and which we have been climbing or skiing every year with our students, for 23 years…).
This magical summit of Mont Blanc, at 4810 m, is within the reach of trained and prepared mountaineers. Don’t think of the Mont Blanc as just a challenge, and certainly not as an end in itself: we want you to love altitude and the high mountains, and to climb Mont Blanc as a gateway to the wonderful world of altitude and the world of Samivel!
Prefer an ASCENSION of Mont Blanc over 3 days, to be better prepared for altitude and cramponing.
