The ascent of Mont Blanc (4,810m) is a landmark for climbers from all over the world for two reasons:
For some, these two reasons will be decisive for choosing to climb Mont Blanc, but not for everyone. Most go for the most beautiful alpine scenery, the atmosphere of Chamonix, new experiences, skills and acquaintances.
Possibility to get to easy and quick, short duration, good infrastructure, moderate difficulty make climbing Mont Blanc one of the best programs for mountain lovers.
We invite you to take part in the ascent of Mont Blanc in 2026!
To ensure the best result and maximum safety of the group, there will be not more than 2 participants per teamleader.
Participant safety is our top priority
If necessary, we will help with visa and air tickets
Even if you don't have the necessary skills, you can get them in the first part of the program.
Our route provides quality acclimatization, which will allow the body to get used to the altitude, and you - to fully enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Alps.
The program includes reserve days in case of bad weather, which greatly increases the chances of a successful ascent of Mont Blanc.
We do not cancel or shift groups. If the manager approved the purchase of a ticket, you can surely buy it. The hike will not be canceled due to our fault.
The consultant has personally been to Mont Blanc and will advise you knowledgeably.
Experienced Kuluar teamleaders, who have been to Mont Blanc many times, will accompany the participants throughout the program.
During the work of the club we have developed an algorithm, which allows us to organize the programs of the highest quality. You can see this for yourself by applying for participation.
The possibility of substantial savings on equipment, going on a climb with Kuluar.
More than 25000 participants have already gone to the mountains with the Kuluar and 97.8% were satisfied. We're sure you will, too!
The group meets the teamleader at an agreed location (depending on the circumstances, it may be the group's campsite, apartments, bus station). First, the teamleader checks the equipment of each participant. If something is missing, do not worry - in fact, everything can be bought on the spot. The prices are approximately the same as at us. In the evening all participants can get acquainted with each other and their guide(s) and ask any questions about the program. Overnight at the campsite, if you want you can stay at a hotel, apartments (not included in the price, but our managers will help you find them, if necessary).
The first full day of the Mont Blanc climbing program is dedicated to training sessions. Participants need to update their skills, and team leaders need to "check in" with the group. We move in crampons, bundles, work with ice axes. And in the evening we return to Chamonix.
Early rise and departure of the group to the Les Houches village. We start to gain altitude. We take the cable car and then the mountain streetcar up to the station Nid d'Aigle (2,372m). There is still about three hours of a leisurely hike to the hut Tete Rousse. The ascent is not too fast, as it allows the organism to get accustomed to the altitude. We will spend the night in stationary tents near the hut (if you want you can stay in the shelter). If we have enough time, we will ascend 100-200 m more for better acclimatization. The tents at the camp are large 8-seat tents, complete with sleeping mattresses and blankets. However, to make sure we get a good warm sleep, we recommend taking a lightweight sleeping bag as well.
We are getting closer to the summit and tonight we will spend the night at the Gouter shelter, elevation 3,817 m. The ascent from Tete Rousse will take about 5-6 hours. For many beginners this is the most psychologically difficult section, as this is the only place on the mountain where you have to climb rocks. If you do not feel too comfortable at heights or do not have any climbing experience we strongly recommend to have some trainings with an instructor at the climbing stand before the trip, and even better to take one of our training programs in small mountains (you can ask the managers for details). The rest of the day will be spent on additional training (if time permits) and primarily on rest (going out at night, so the "lights out" early). It is from Gouter we will start our ascent of Mont Blanc from France. We spend the night in a hut.
This day is here! At night we go out to storm the highest peak of the Alps. Right away we go in the crampons. It takes about two hours to get to the intermediate peak Dome du Gouter (4304 m), the first checkpoint where the guides check the condition of the group. Then the descent to the saddle to the Vallot hut (4362 m). In fact, it is only a small cabin, but it may provide some shelter. Here we rest and check the condition of the group once again. A few more ascents and the route comes out to the famous summit ridge of Mont Blanc. The summit is near!
From here several long rises of incredibly beautiful snowy ridge and we are on the top of the Alps!
The whole ascent takes about 4.5-7 hours, the descent to the Gouter Hut takes another 2-3 hours. But our way goes further - to the shelter Tete Rousse. If participants need rest - the group can stay in Tete Rousse, for further descent we have day №6. However, most of the groups of recent seasons had time to descend not only here, but also further, to the mountain streetcar station and down into the valley. Only after that can we congratulate you on your successful ascent of Mont Blanc!
After the summit, we stayed one more night in the huts, but today we are going down to Chamonix, resting and celebrating the ascent.
This day can also be used as a reserve day.
Transfer to Geneva (or wherever you need to go), farewell to the group. It is better to take tickets home in the afternoon.
Depending on the weather conditions and general wishes of the group, the teamleader has the right to make changes to the route.
To visit France, you must have a valid Schengen or biometric passport. We can help you with visa processing.
You must have no illnesses from this list in order to participate in the hike.
Climbing Mont Blanc opens up to you many peaks. After Mont Blanc, we recommend:
We have prepared for you a commemorative "Mont Blanc" medal, which you will receive after the ascent.
Tickets must be purchased in advance, as soon as we confirm your participation in the climbing.
You need good insurance to participate in the program. Please do not neglect this item. For some participants, it saved thousands of dollars. You can find our recommendations for taking out insurance here: "Insurance for Kuluar hikers"
The most favorable season for climbing Mont Blanc is considered the period from late June to early September. This is when the weather is warmest and most stable.
In summer the temperature in Chamonix rises to +25 and above during the day, but with increasing altitude it becomes significantly colder. Night temperatures at an altitude of 3800 can drop to -20, at the very top during the ascent the temperature is usually kept around -5 ... -10 degrees. There is snow on Mont Blanc all year round.
All special equipment can be rented in Chamonix and not brought from home. It is not cheap, to rent the whole set (boots, crampons, ice axe, system, helmet) will cost 100-150 euros.
To climb Mont Blanc, you must be in good physical shape. Start running 3 months before the start of the ascent and train at least 3 times a week. Try to run as long as possible at a comfortable pace.
The cost depends on the number of participants.
| Number of participants | Value |
|---|---|
| 4 and more | €2200 |
| 3 | €2450 |
| 2 | €2450 |
| 1 | €4100 |
