Trek & Climb Mont Blanc
Alpine Trekking Holiday with an ascent of Mont Blanc (14 days)...
This holiday is geared towards experienced winter hill walkers as
opposed to hard core climbers. In 2005 despite difficult weather
conditions we had a 100% success rate.
A full week of spectacular alpine trekking in the Mont Blanc area to
get you fit and acclimatised for the second week when you will have your
chance to climb the mighty Mont Blanc, the highest peak in western Europe
at 4807 metres.
During the second week you'll be passed over to a highly experienced
Mountain Guide (IFMGA) such as 'Smiler' or Jonathon Preston for further
training and preparation for your ascent of Mont Blanc.
The cost for the trip is £1195 per person excluding accommodation or
£1695 with half board accommodation and Geneva airport transfers. The trip
will run for a minimum of two people.
