Things to do in Le Fayet Saint Gervais, Mont Blanc

A few ideas if you have some free time before or after your course.

Indoor Climbing at the new climbing gym Le Topo which is only a 10min walk from our hotel PlanB

Walking distance is also the beautiful Parc Thermal which are natural hot springs and baths at La Savoy - Les Thermes in Le Fayet Saint Gervais.

Also in the Parc Thermal is a great Via Ferrata

Walking distance from our Hotel PlanB is also the train station in the centre of Le Fayet. From here you can take the train up to the Chamonix valley which is only a 10 minute journey to access outdoor climbing shops, bars and restaurants. Also in Chamonix you can take the Aiguillle du Midi lift up to an incredible view point of the Mt Blanc massif as well as a great way to start acclimatising for say our Monte Rosa 4000ers course.

The course content was brilliant. No knocking whatsoever. We had Jacky for the duration, and his experience shines through and his leadership. He taught me a lot of things, not just the black and white of things but actually quick methods to overcome tricky situations!

“What an incredible week learning the basics of Mountaineering. The course is perfectly balanced between summiting high alpine peaks and learning rope, climbing and glacier skills.

Thanks for a fantastic week. It was really one of the best things I have ever done. I learned a lot during the week, not only about climbing technique, but also about attitude.
