Mountaineering
Explore an extraordinary and wild natural environment of winding glaciers and slender rock pinnacles with our mountain guides. Located in the heart of the Alps, the Chamonix valley is an essential destination for exploring the high-mountain environment.
Lifts allow a quick access to many areas that perfectly fit for a first immersion in high altitudes. Join our guides for unique experiences in the Mont Blanc Massif and neighbouring mountain ranges. They will put all their professionalism at your disposal to help you make your next climbing adventures unforgettable memories and to teach you the mountaineering technical skills. Glacier hikes across the Vallée Blanche’s Géant glacier and the Argentière glacier guarantee ideal conditions for your first steps in mountaineering.
Climbers from across the world visit the Chamonix Aiguilles, including the Aiguille du Midi, in their quest for top quality routes. In summer and winter, whatever you are a beginner / experienced climber or mountaineer, the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix can recommend the best route for you, based on your preferences and the mountain conditions.
