The Mont Blanc Massif is particularly famous for its unique blend of snaking glaciers and slender rock spires. The granite comprising it attracts climbers from across the world on a quest for high-quality routes.
We have a fun approach, based around games, to teach specific moves and techniques, including belaying, stances and abseils, to young climbers.
All climbing disciplines are available in Chamonix: bouldering, single-pitch and multi-pitch routes.
