Beneath the roof of the Alps, where alpinism began.
Chamonix sits in the shadow of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, in the town where mountaineering was born. It’s raw, vertical, and serious — the legendary Vallée Blanche, the Aiguille du Midi cable car, and a buzzing town that has drawn climbers and skiers for two centuries.
A cable car to 3,800 metres, a guide, and a 20-kilometre glacier descent through a frozen world of seracs and crevasses, Mont Blanc overhead the whole way. The most storied off-piste run on earth.
Glacier hikes, the Mer de Glace, and a town of climbers in full summer swing beneath the white dome of Mont Blanc.
The Aiguille du Midi hauls you to a needle of rock at 3,842 metres — a glass step into the void and the whole range below.
Helmets on, guide ahead, and the roof of the Alps at your back. The kind of day that bonds a group for life.
Serious glacier descents with a private guide, the Aiguille du Midi into thin air, and a legendary town to come home to — Chamonix is alpinism at full volume. We hold the keys to the chalets, the mountain guides, the tables in town. Bring your group. Once it’s set, you travel free.
