Climbing trip Chamonix | Aiguilles Rouges | Mont Blanc
Climbing in magnificent red granite in the historic climbing paradise of Chamonix and Aiguilles Rouges!
Chamonix
Highlights
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc - a name that stands for spectacular mountain landscapes, magnificent climbing routes and a long alpine history. Located in the French Alps, Chamonix offers an unrivalled backdrop for climbing enthusiasts. Directly opposite the Mont Blanc massif is the Aiguilles Rouges mountain range - a paradise for rock climbers. The red granite towers offer a variety of well-secured multi-pitch routes of moderate difficulty and are known for their impressive views of Mont Blanc and the Chamonix valley. Here you can also see the glacier from the village!
Climbing trip
We spend five days together in the climbing mecca. Chamonix is easily accessible from Switzerland by train or carpooling. On the very first day, we head to one of the climbing gardens in the valley with short multi-pitch routes. We start with a refresher on the most important multi-pitch techniques before exploring the various multi-pitch routes in the region together over the following days. There are countless routes in grades 4 and 5 and the climbing is varied with ledges, cracks and intersections on the best red granite, always with a view of the mighty Mont Blanc massif. We climb in the Aiguilles Rouges, in Montroc or on the pass of Le Châtelard-Frontière. Depending on the conditions, we choose the most beautiful routes and experience unforgettable days in one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in Europe.
Touring area
Chamonix lies just behind the Valais in France. We spend the night in the village of Chamonix and take the cable cars to the various climbing spots. We enjoy the rock especially at the countless possibilities at the Aiguilles Rouges or in Mont Roc or on the pass Le Châtelard-Frontière. There are countless routes with 4-8 pitches in the best red granite in the 4th and 5th degree of difficulty.
