Glacier hiking in the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix with a High Mountain Guide. This activity doesn't require exceptional physical or technical skills but offers easy access to magical places in the land of eternal snows.
DAY'S PROGRAM
The proposed hikes can be completed in 1 or 2 days, depending on the route.
For 2-day hikes, the first day is dedicated to the ascent to a mountain hut and possibly an ice climbing course. You will learn glacier travel techniques and how to use crampons.
On the day of the glacier hike, roped up with a high mountain guide, you will traverse a glacier and approach crevasses. It is possible to summit a peak, depending on the chosen route.

MOUNTAINS and CLIMATE
Glaciers are victims of climate change and are disappearing witnesses to colder periods in Earth's history.
