Product Info

Enjoy a genuine introduction to mountaineering on the Mer de Glace, under the supervision of an aspiring high-mountain guide.
The day begins on the Montenvers train, which provides access to the Mer de Glace gondola lift. Then we'll walk for 40 minutes to the ice walls, which we'll climb using crampons and ice axes.
This small-group ice climbing school focuses on personalized guidance, with instruction tailored to each person's level.
Learn how to move in crampons, how to use an ice axe, and discover the joy of climbing natural ice walls.
Learning these techniques may also allow you to consider mountaineering ascents of peaks such as Mont Blanc in the future.

Important Info

Reminders

  • Know Before You Go: You will be asked to dress appropriately for spending a day in a cool and damp environment that is extremely exposed to sunlight: long pants, jacket, down jacket, Gore-Tex, mountaineering boots, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
