The Grand Tour

Mt. Blanc, Matterhorn, Eiger & Jungfrau

Photo by Freddy. Mt. Blanc seen from the Aig. du Midi

This is a great combination of the highest peaks in the western European Alps, with striking wild peaks in granite, limestone and gneiss rock surrounded by the biggest glaciers in Europe.

Rated D to PD or SZ to S

The transfer from climb to climb takes you through incredible countryside, which is by itself an experience. After a few days of acclimation, we traverse Mt. Blanc. Afterwards we will be in great shape to climb the Matterhorn, Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.
