Mont Blanc & Gran Paradiso – Two Alpine Peak Dreams
From Italy’s highest mountain to the highest peak in the Alps
Our tour takes you first to Gran Paradiso (4,061 m), the highest mountain entirely within Italy. Rising in the heart of Italy’s oldest national park, the Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, originally established to protect the Alpine ibex, this peak is a classic among the 4,000-meter mountains. Technically moderate yet featuring thrilling glacier sections, exposed ridges, and breathtaking views across the Western Alps—from Monte Rosa to Mont Blanc—Gran Paradiso offers the perfect introduction to high-altitude alpine climbing.
After this ideal preparation, the ultimate goal awaits: Mont Blanc (4,810 m), the highest peak in the Alps. First ascended in 1786, it remains a symbol of mountaineering. Following the Goûter Route, you will traverse ice, rock, and snow fields to reach Europe’s highest point—a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the pinnacle of any mountaineer’s career.
Under the expert guidance of experienced mountain guides, you will summit two distinct 4,000-meter peaks, combining unforgettable nature experiences, challenging alpine adventure, and the unmatched thrill of standing atop the roof of the Alps.
