In the Mont Blanc Massif there are thousands of high-quality climbs. The suggestions listed below merely scratch the surface. Deciding what to include and omit is challenging; as one could easily spend a lifetime exploring the surrounding valleys.

I often combine several itineraries together with neighbouring routes in order to create multi-day excursions, using the incredible and extensive hut system to aid in our plans.

If one is coming to the Chamonix Valley to summit Mont Blanc it is advisable to spend several days acclimatizing before beginning the summit push. This not only adds to the enjoyment of those climbs but also provides your body with the necessary time to adapt to the altitude of 4800m, (16,000 feet) on Mont Blanc's summit.

Chamonix generally serves as the logical base for most of the climbs outlined here. It is easily reached in just over an hour from Geneva Airport. Information regarding airport transfers and arranging accommodations can be discussed at any time to help with the logistical side of the itineraries.
