Mont Blanc Tours & Treks

There are a few ways to get to the stunning mountainous region of Mont Blanc, with the best one depending on where you travel from.

If you're from a country in the United Kingdom, catching a flight to Geneva Airport or Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport and then driving the hour's drive to Mont Blanc is the quickest way to get there.

You can also catch a train from any major European city to Paris and then from Paris to Chamonix, which takes roughly 6 hours.

The climate in Chamonix is considered to be a humid, continental one, and its geographical location heavily influences the various weather patterns throughout the year.

The summer months of June, July, and August offer nice and warm weather with average temperatures ranging from approximately 68°F to 77°F.

The rainiest month out of the year is May, with the least rainy being February, coinciding with the average winter temperatures of around 25°F.

The best time to climb Mont Blanc is during the months of June to September, when average temperatures are relatively nice and most days are without rain. However, this is also considered the 'peak climbing season', so be prepared to share the mountain with fellow hikers.

It's advised against climbing Mont Blanc during the harsh temperatures of winter as deep snow, and Arctic-like winds can create challenging and unsafe conditions.

One of the most important things is to pack weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes that won't give you blisters.

You should also bring a day bag for your water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, phone and first aid items when you're on the trail.

One of the best ways to see Mont Blanc is to embark on a group tour with an experienced leader who'll expertly navigate the terrain and ensure you see as much of this spectacular region as possible. 

A trip like our Mont Blanc Highlights will ensure you get the chance to do a bit of hiking and explore the picturesque landscapes of nearby towns. 

You can also choose to hike the mountain by yourself or take a cable car up to the peak.
