| Chamonix acclimatisation weekend |
| For our Chamonix based climbing courses in the summer season, we offer the possibility of people arriving a day early, so that they can benefit from an extra day to acclimatise, before the guiding starts on the Monday morning. This can be especially useful on trips that ascend some of the highest Alpine summits (e.g. Mont Blanc, Dufourspitze, or Matterhorn), or which go straight to altitude for a hut based week (e.g. Monte Rosa or Oberland).
