Things to Know from Montblanc – Route 4000’s
The Mont Blanc route via the 4000s is not an easy summit and requires proper training, practice, and correct technique in the use of crampons and self-arrest skills with an ice axe. You must also consider the altitude. Let a professional mountain guide lead you to its 4,808-meter summit through this stunning alpine route.
The 4000s route starts in Chamonix and takes the Aiguille du Midi cable car up to 3,840 m. From there, we’ll head to the Cosmiques hut for the night. On day two, we’ll traverse Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit before finally reaching the summit of Europe! The descent will be via the Goûter route, arriving — if all goes well — back in Chamonix early in the afternoon. Mont Blanc will already be part of our alpine journey.
*There is a 2-day program and a 3-day program that includes an additional guided day to summit Mont Blanc du Tacul and return to Cosmiques, allowing better acclimatization and a higher chance of success on Mont Blanc.
Most of our climbers choose the 5-day program (2 days Gran Paradiso + 3 days Mont Blanc) for a better chance of summiting Mont Blanc by doing two 4000-meter ascents. This allows for proper acclimatization and better preparation for Mont Blanc.
Our program is fully inclusive and not only includes the 2:1 guide ratio but also cable cars and half-board accommodation in mountain huts (client + guide).
