Mountaineering

Discover mountaineering in Chamonix with our mountain guides, in a spectacular alpine environment of glaciers and sharp granite peaks. 


Located in the heart of the Alps, the Chamonix Valley is one of the world’s leading destinations for mountaineering in the Mont Blanc massif. Thanks to the valley’s lift system, many high-altitude areas are quickly accessible and perfectly suited to a first introduction to mountaineering. Roped up with our guides, you can explore the iconic routes of the Mont Blanc massif and the surrounding ranges. Glacier journeys across the Géant Glacier in the Vallée Blanche provide ideal terrain to learn the fundamentals of alpine climbing, including movement with crampons and an ice axe.

The famous Aiguilles of Chamonix, including the Aiguille du Midi, attract climbers and mountaineers from around the world in search of classic alpine ascents and high-quality routes. In both summer and winter, whether you are taking your first steps in mountaineering or aiming for more demanding objectives, the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix will help you choose the ascent best suited to your level, your ambitions and the mountain conditions. The Mont Blanc massif remains one of the great alpine arenas for mountaineering, from first ascents to more committing high-mountain routes.
