Mont Blanc Tours and Tickets

It’s not just the skiing and climbing that makes Chamonix a world-class adventure destination: the area is famous for paragliding, too. Take to the air in perfect safety from 3,900 feet (2,100 meters) on a tandem flight with an instructor. Savor spectacular views of the Alps as your pilot manipulates the wing to ride the air currents from Plan Praz or Plan de l’Aiguille (cable-car ticket not included).

Montblanc (4.810m) is one of the best known mountains in the world and rightly so, since it is the highest summit in the Alps and the massif that extends to the south of Chamonix (the capital of Montblanc) and borders with France, Italy and Switzerland. There are 6 classic itineraries for its ascension, and the easiest and busiest is the normal or Goûter route, since it is done via the Goûter refuge. Every Summer hundreds of alpinists, hikers and climbers travel to the valley to climb the white giant and thus fulfill their dream of climbing one of the most mythical mountains in the world. In addition, the massif offers many more possibilities of all levels so that the adventure in Chamonix is much more complete. The usual, due to the height of the Montblanc is to make one or two peaks before the final attack, in order to acclimatize, since despite the 5000m high, it is still advisable to make a few days of prior acclimatization to avoid possible symptoms of altitude sickness.
