Mont Blanc in One Day – PeakBlanc Challenge 2026

What can you look forward to?

PeakBlanc is not a race against others. It’s a challenge against yourself. You climb up on your own and recover on the way down in the Černohorský Express gondola. At the summit, a Basecamp awaits with refreshments, event partners and a place to rest.

* climb 4,808 vertical meters — the height of Mont Blanc
* complete the challenge within 15 hours
* 9 ascents to the top of Černá hora

What awaits me?

Your goal is to climb 4,808 vertical meters within 15 hours — the height of Mont Blanc. Each ascent means 566 meters of elevation gain. Everyone sets their own pace. Between ascents, you can rest at the Basecamp on top of Černá hora, refuel, or test Salomon trail shoes and VIF eyewear.

The challenge is for anyone who wants to discover how much their body and mind can handle. It doesn’t matter whether you run ultras or are trying something like this for the first time. What matters is the ability to keep going.

Capacity is limited to 250 participants.
