The highest peak in Europe.

Climbing Mont Blanc is a dream for many alpinists. At 4,810m, it is the queen of the Alps and of Western Europe—a goal that blends effort, emotion, and pure beauty.

With the Cervino Guides, you can experience this ascent safely, choosing the itinerary best suited to you, supported by professional and expert guidance.

Italian Normal Route – via Rifugio Gonella

A quieter, more remote and fascinating ascent than the French side.

It crosses the vast Dôme Glacier and the final Bosses Ridge.

Physically demanding and highly atmospheric, away from the crowds; requires good fitness and acclimatization.

Other options with the Cervino Guides

  • French Normal Route (Gouter – Dôme du Goûter – Vallot – Bosses): the most popular itinerary; two days, starting from Les Houches, overnight at Rifugio Gouter; requires good acclimatization and endurance.
  • Technical alpine routes: available on request for experienced climbers.
