Description

This program’s main objective is to reach the summit of Mount Blanc using the 4000s Traverse. It is a long route and it is a big challenge for those teams who decide to do it. It is not an activity for people without a minimum of experience in mountaineering. It wouldn’t be neither the activity set for a first-time experience in a high-altitude mountain.

Acclimation will be as complete as possible, to be able to grant a maximum level of fitness during the last ascension.

We will set the Base Camp in Chamonix from which we will share rides. The trips won’t last longer than an hour and a half, offering comfort and granting the maximal amount of rest for the body to be as fit as possible when climbing up. The accommodation in Chamonix varies on price depending on where you are staying. The typical gite are quite economic and practical whereas the more traditional Hotels are more expensive. Count with a minimum of 25€ per person per night.
