Mont
Blanc 4810m is the highest summit in Western Europe.
To get to the 'roof of Europe', we ascend by either
the 'Royal' route
of the Trois Mont Blanc from the Midi, the Gonella route
from the Italian Val Veny, or via the classic Gouter
route. Due to the altitude and the length of the climb,
we never declare the ascent to be easy. It is an unforgettable
experience to reach the summit, and you will test the
skills you have learnt along the way.
