After spending the night at an alpine hut we have an early start toward the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest point in Western Europe (15,771¹) and a heavily glaciated mountain offering spectacular snow and ice climbing. Our routes follow the tremendous glaciers that cover the North and West side of Mont Blanc. Late return to Chamonix and dinner!
