Guided 3-day Goûter ascent; 5-day program option with Gran Paradiso. Climb Mont Blanc (4,808 m) in 3 days via the Goûter route with a professional high mountain guide. Enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience. Come and summit the highest peak in continental Europe with a certified guide! 5-day program option available, including ascents of Gran Paradiso (4,061 m) and Mont Blanc (4,808 m).
While not an excessively technical mountain, Mont Blanc is not an easy summit. It requires good physical training, practical experience, and proper technique using crampons. You must also consider its altitude. Let a professional mountain guide lead you to the 4,808 m summit. The classic normal route starts in Chamonix. We begin by taking the train to Nid d’Aigle, where the hike starts towards the Tête Rousse refuge for the first overnight stay. On the second day, we climb to the Goûter refuge, passing through the well-known Goûter couloir. To avoid rockfall, this section is crossed early in the morning when conditions are more stable. Once at the refuge, we have dinner and go to bed early to start the summit push the following day. From Goûter, we ascend to the summit and, after the summit photo from the rooftop of Europe, begin the long descent back to Chamonix. Most of our climbers choose a 5-day program (2 days in Gran Paradiso + 3 days in Mont Blanc) to increase their chances of reaching the Mont Blanc summit by completing two 4,000 m ascents. This allows for proper acclimatization and better preparation for Mont Blanc. Our program is all-inclusive and not only covers the 2:1 guide ratio, but also includes lifts, train transport, and half-board accommodation in mountain huts (client + guide).

Jordi Tosas
IFMGA guide
I’ve spent my life chasing mountains, snow, and wild places across the world — and I still feel the same excitement every time I set foot on a new route. I grew up by the sea, but everything changed when I was 9 years old and discovered the mountains. Since then, I’ve never stopped climbing, skiing, exploring, and learning from them. What began as a passion became my way of life. As a UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide, I’ve led and taken part in adventures across some of the most incredible and demanding landscapes on Earth: alpine-style ascents on 8,000-meter peaks, technical climbs, ski and snowboard expeditions, and route openings from the Arctic to Antarctica, through the Himalayas, Patagonia, deserts, jungles, and remote mountain ranges around the world. But for me, guiding is about much more than summits. It’s about sharing the experience, making good decisions in the mountains, adapting to every situation, and helping each person live something real and unforgettable. My work is built on years of experience, continuous training, mountain medicine, and a deep respect for nature and the people I guide. I’m based in Benasque, in the Pyrenees, although I’ve always felt like a nomad. The mountains have taught me freedom, resilience, and perspective — and they continue to do so every single day. I believe the most important thing is not just where you arrive, but how you live the journey to get there. And that’s exactly what I aim to offer in every trip, climb, or expedition I guide.
