If you like trekking and being in the high mountains, but are not an experienced mountaineer, then this high level route linking the two most famous towns in the Alps could be the trip for you. No previous experience necessary but there are some tough days so you need to be fit !
Details and Dates
Since the first ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786 it has been one of the most popular objectives for Alpinists. The highest mountain in Western Europe towers above the surrounding peaks, but is a reasonable objective if you are very fit and determined. NB: Please contact me before booking.

On this trip we aim to reach the summit of the legendary Eiger via the Mittelegi Ridge. At AD+ this narrow ridge packs a punch and you'll need to be a swift climber and excellent on your feet. The route normally begins on rock and finishes with a heart-fluttering snow crest to the summit.

Gran Paradiso is the highest peak completely inside Italy. At 4061m high it offers a realistic objective for a relatively short trip, and is not technically difficult to climb, being mostly glacial trekking. However, you'll still need to be fit and have a good head for heights for the summit ridge.
