INTRODUCTION

Mont Blanc with a height of 4808 m is the highest mountain in France, which stands as a tourist hub in Europe, meaning a White Mountain. It is situated at an elevation of 15,777 ft. above the sea level. Additionally, the mountain is located at a range known as Graian Alps between the Aosta Valley, Italy, and France.

The foremost thing of Mont Blanc is that it is popular amongst the tourist for hiking, skiing, and snowboarding. Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard reached the summit of Mont Blanc for the first time on 8th August 1786. It has been popular in the world as perfect destination for ski-mountaineering trip. As it includes the climbing and skiing trip, we the Himalayan Ski Trek regularly organize ski mountaineering package every year. The Mont Blanc massif is listed in the World Heritage Site by the UNESCO because of its uniqueness and its cultural importance, which is also considered as the birthplace and symbol of modern mountaineering. Most of the European climbers choose to do some preliminary climbing training in Mont Blanc before heading towards any high altitude mountain expedition in Himalayas. We also offer Mount Blanc climbing trip as a training program which helps in learning the climbing techniques.


For the past ten years, the Mont Blanc has become one of the most popular touring destinations due to its natural surreal beauty and awe-inspiring views from the summit. Similarly, it is also popular for the family trips and honeymoon tour as well. However, there’s no any specific season to visit Mount Blanc but skiing is best in December and January.
