BOOK A 30-MINUTE INTRODUCTORY CALL WITH OUR CHALLENGES TEAM TO FIND THE RIGHT SHACKLETON CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
Mission: To climb and summit Western Europe's highest peak.
Rising to 4,808m, the ‘white mountain’ is the highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe. Its first ascent in 1786 marked the beginning of modern mountaineering and has given this iconic peak ‘must-climb’ status amongst adventurers worldwide ever since.
The dominant peak in the Mont Blanc massif straddling France, Italy and Switzerland, Mont Blanc has now been added to Shackleton’s expanding mountain Challenges programme and offers a wide variety of terrain and climbing styles amid breathtaking scenery.
Shackleton’s expert team will prepare and guide you every step of the way from the moment you commit to your Challenge, all the way to the peak and back. Our comprehensive preparation programme includes physical training and nutrition guidance and will lay the foundations for what will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable and rewarding weeks of your life. Once in the Alps, you will be based in our Chamonix HQ where the team will meticulously prepare you for your summit attempt before taking on the ultimate goal.
Our team of renowned climbers has carefully devised a route and itinerary to maximise the whole experience and leave a lasting impression well beyond your return home.
