The budget needed to climb Mont Blanc can vary considerably depending on a number of factors, including your level of mountaineering experience, whether you use guides or the time of year you choose to climb.
To climb Mont Blanc, you must first obtain a permit, known as a "mountaineering card", which can cost several hundred euros. There may also be a charge for staying in Alpine refuges.
If you have no mountaineering experience, it is strongly recommended that you hire a mountain guide. The cost of a professional guide varies, but it can be a significant part of the budget. If you need mountaineering training, courses can also be expensive.

Alpine equipment, including clothing, footwear, crampons, ice axes, ropes and helmets can be a major expense.
Transport, whether by plane, train or car, is also a factor. You may have to travel to Chamonix, the most common starting point for climbing Mont Blanc.
Around 1000 euros to climb Mont Blanc
During your stay in Chamonix, you will need accommodation and food. Alpine refuges along the route to the summit offer accommodation, but there may be associated costs.
It is also advisable to take out mountaineering insurance to cover accidents and emergency evacuation. The cost of insurance will depend on the length of your stay and the cover required.
