Mont Blanc Training Day – Chamonix 🇫🇷 Sept 2025

This is our classic introduction to alpine mountaineering day on the Mer de Glace Glacier above Chamonix.

A 1 day course and a great opportunity to learn the basic & fundamental skills of mountaineering including using crampons and ice axe as well as roped glacier travel. It’s a great compliment to our other Chamonix based Mt Blanc Training & high altitude glacier travel day from Skyway Monte Bianco as well as our other intro alpine courses and UK based Mont Blanc training weekends.
