The COURSE option is the surest way to have all the advantages on your side.  But it is  necessary to be physically fit before your arrival.

Guide ratio: two people per guide for maximum security and effectiveness.
Programme subject toc change depending on the conditions (weather forecast, snow...) but I will do my utmost to make sure you climb Mont Blanc.
