HISTORY
1786, August 8th : FIRST ascent
By Michel Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat. Departure around 4 am from a bivouac at the top of the Côte mountain. At 6:23 pm, Paccard and Balmat are observed reaching the summit which he abandons at 7 pm. Return to the bivouac of the morning before Midnight. One agrees to admit that this ascent marks the birth of the mountaineering.

THE ASCENT OF THE MONT BLANC
To conquer the Mont Blanc remains a dream shared by many amateur or passionate climbers. This dream is accessible as long as you don't underestimate the apparently easy sides of this legendary mountain.
It is necessary to give back to the ascent of this summit its true value as an act of mountaineering and to redefine its different aspects: high altitude, physical commitment, indispensable technical skills, preparation,...
So that this ascent remains one of your most beautiful memories, call upon a high mountain guide.

Albertville
The climb through fields and forests to the Col des Saisies, the descent into the heart of the Beaufortain with glorious views of the Mont Blanc, and the section through the wonderful village of Hauteluce are great cycling moments in Savoie Mont Blanc.

Col des Saisies from Val d'Arly

Flumet
A pleasant climb that includes two more-difficult sections after Notre Dame de Bellecombe and a short descent. The gradient changes almost constantly, making it very difficult to settle into a good rhythm.
