There are a lot of reasons why Chamonix is the coolest mountain town on Earth, but don't take our word for it—come join us for a week of food, fun, and sunny stone to see what it's all about!

If you haven’t been, it’s hard to really appreciate the scale, diversity, and quality of the climbing and mountain culture the French Alps have to offer, and nowhere is that truer than Chamonix. The beating heart of the Alps, Chamonix is a Mecca for climbers.

With routes ranging from snow and ice climbs to rock faces, soaring alpine ridges, and anything you can imagine, the towering spires of the Mont Blanc Massif are where it all started.

At the foot of the magnificent Mont Blanc Massif lies Chamonix, a climber's paradise. Full of iconic routes across a range of different stone types, from gold-tinged granite to gneiss, granite, and limestone, the area has something for everyone. Plus, most everything is easy to get to, thanks to an efficient network of trains, lifts, huts, and trails.

The region additionally features plenty of routes without snow, from sunny bolted lines to classic ridge scrambles and multi-pitch climbs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced mountaineer, Chamonix is the perfect destination.

What to Expect:
Over the course of a week with our industry-leading IFMGA Mountain Guides, you’ll learn the techniques you need to approach multi-pitch rock and alpine climbs with confidence.

We'll cover everything from gear selection to multi-pitch climbing and belay techniques. You'll learn a variety of rope systems for ascending and descending, as well as basic snow climbing with ice axes and crampons. We'll also cover the basics of glacier travel and navigation. Most of all though, we'll be going climbing!

Sound like a good time? That's because it is—sign up now and we'll see you at one of our upcoming She Moves Mountains Climbing Retreats in Chamonix!
