Scaling the Gran Paradiso summit is a challenge for the mind and body. It demands peak physical fitness, effective training and good weather conditions.

Expedition Alps from Atlantis has been designed keeping all these factors in mind. The week long program includes training and acclimatization and two days of the actual ascent to the summit. Expert guides and instructors from a mountaineering institute in the Alps will conduct the training program and lead the ascent.

Gran Paradiso (Grand Paradise) is a mountain located in north-west Italy with an altitude of 4061 meters or 13,324 feet. Mont Blanc or the ``White Mountain``, is the highest mountain in the Alps and the highest in Europe west of Russia after the Caucasus peaks, with an altitude of 4810 meters or 15,780 feet.

For seasoned climbers, the program can be upgraded to include Mont Blanc as the final summit.

The program also includes two nights and three days in Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. During their stay in Paris, you will visit the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre – arguably the finest museum in the world, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Place De La Concorde, Jardin des Tuileries and lots more.
