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.

Testimonials For ISM

Our three guides were all excellent: Thomas, Phil and Paulo. I can't speak highly enough of them. They were all good company and superb climbers, and patient with us all.

Matterhorn Ascent

Brilliant!! I was a walker at the start of the week. By the end had been on glaciers and climbed a 4000m peak!! It was a wonderful, wonderful, experience which i will never forget. It was excellent value for money and I hope to be joining you for years to come.

Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

“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.
