THE PROGRAM:

This day on the glacier is dedicated to beginners in mountaineering who have little or any previous experience in a mountaineering environment and, above all, for those who have never been on a glacier.

The training program is particularly suitable for those who need to best prepare for their first mountaineering trip, such as the Gran Paradiso, the Capanna Margherita or the Breithorn.
It is also very useful to have a review of the ascent and descent technique before the ascent of Mont Blanc

This Mont Blanc glacier training is the ideal Mountaineering course Mont Blanc for learning essential techniques on snow and ice at altitude.
With a certified guide, you’ll improve rope progression, crampon movement, and ice axe use while testing your endurance in real alpine terrain.
This Mountaineering course Mont Blanc builds the confidence and technical skills needed for future ascents of 4,000 m peaks and summit success.
If you are preparing for more advanced climbs, part of the session focuses on mixed terrain and easy rocky ridges to refine your technique.
Please note: in case of bad weather or poor conditions, the training on Mont Blanc glacier may be moved to Cervinia (AO).
