What does “fit” constitute? Does a 4h marathon count as fit?

Hi, here it is: The best thing about climbing Mont Blanc is that it’s not reserved for expert climbers only. Anyone with a very good level of fitness, endurance, determination, and proper preparation can make it! So even if you’ve never climbed a peak before, you can do this. Let Mont Blanc, the highest point of Europe, be your first of many! The most important things here are your level of fitness and preparation. You have to make sure you’re fit enough to climb for up to 12 hours on summit day, so as long as you’re confident in your abilities and have very good endurance, you’re good to go. Though it’s not technically difficult, it’s a very long hike and it requires considerable effort. Your guides designed this trip with plenty of preparation and flexibility in mind. Prior to actually attempting to summit Mont Blanc, you will spend several days in and around Chamonix, getting used to the equipment and the altitude. More information on that is found in the day-by-day itinerary, but essentially, the idea is that your body gets used to climbing in high altitudes and that you get the feel of having crampons. Only when you’ve tried summiting Gran Paradiso, an Italian giant which is both similar and easier than Mont Blanc, can you continue onto Mont Blanc. Spending longer time in Chamonix also gives you more flexibility regarding adverse weather conditions. Finally, it’s important to note that your guides recommend one to two persons maximum for the climb, meaning that this is not a group tour. If you’re by yourself, that’s totally fine-an expert guide will be with you the whole way through. But if you have a friend or family who shares similar fitness and goals with you, that’s also perfect. You will not be placed in a group with unknown people.
