The Mont Blanc, the roof of Europe, a myth-like ascent on snow and ice, a sacred ascension by a good number of mountaineers. Its’ summital view from Chamonix Mont Blanc appears close but it is a true mountain race to take seriously. This mountaineering training course can not assure you of reaching the 15,780 feet, but will allow you to ripen your mountaineering skills (“cramponing”, ”roping”, altitude acclimatization) and may allow you, World Wide Mountain Guide hope, to summit this majestic Mont Blanc mountain that demands respect and allow you to discover the reality of mountaineering.
