Live the Mont Blanc dream (4,808 m) via the 4,000 m Route: Aiguille du Midi–Cosmiques–Tacul–Maudit–summit, descending by Goûter. This program includes acclimatization for success with an IFMGA guide, lifts, and half-board huts included.
The Mont Blanc route via the 4000s is not an easy summit and requires proper training, practice, and correct technique in the use of crampons and self-arrest skills with an ice axe. You must also consider the altitude. Let a professional mountain guide lead you to its 4,808-meter summit through this stunning alpine route. The 4000s route starts in Chamonix and takes the Aiguille du Midi cable car up to 3,840 m. From there, we’ll head to the Cosmiques hut for the night. On day two, we’ll traverse Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit before finally reaching the summit of Europe! The descent will be via the Goûter route, arriving — if all goes well — back in Chamonix early in the afternoon. Mont Blanc will already be part of our alpine journey. *There is a 2-day program and a 3-day program that includes an additional guided day to summit Mont Blanc du Tacul and return to Cosmiques, allowing better acclimatization and a higher chance of success on Mont Blanc. Most of our climbers choose the 5-day program (2 days Gran Paradiso + 3 days Mont Blanc) for a better chance of summiting Mont Blanc by doing two 4000-meter ascents. This allows for proper acclimatization and better preparation for Mont Blanc. Our program is fully inclusive and not only includes the 2:1 guide ratio but also cable cars 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.
