Ascension du mont Vinson à 4 892 m en AntarctiqueAlpinisme en Antarctique

Votre voyage en régions polaires

Imagine yourself on the summit of Mount Vinson 16,050 feet (4892 m), the highest peak in Antarctica and one of the coveted Seven Summits.

Majestic, snow-covered peaks stand guard over vast glaciers below and in the distance, snow meets sky along a noticeably curved horizon. This is a moment to savour. All of the challenges you faced to get here only highlight the vast beauty before you and the sense of accomplishment that comes from achieving the extraordinary.

Mount Vinson lies in the aptly named Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, deep in the interior of Antarctica. It was first summited on December 18, 1966 and for many years did not see a second ascent due to the challenges of accessing its remote location.

In 1985, our partner ALE pioneered logistics to support a private expedition to Mount Vinson and 30+ years later, they continue to guide climbers to the top of the bottom of the world!

You’ll ascend the Branscomb Shoulder Route which has become the “standard route”, climbing gentle glaciers, 40° snow covered slopes, an exposed high plateau, and spectacular summit ridge. The rate of ascent and daily climbing plan set by your experienced mountain guide will be geared toward the safety and success of your climb. To climb Mount Vinson is to challenge yourself on a mountain like no other, in one of the most remote regions on Earth.
