Access Mont Blanc
Access Mont Blanc
Access Mont Blanc is a non-profit Association based in Les Houches in the heart of the Chamonix Valley. Although only formed in 2021, we have big dreams for the future of disability sport in the Mont Blanc region, and we plan to make the mountains accessible to everyone.
By wearing a solidarity bib in support of Access Mont Blanc, you will be contributing to the purchase of all terrain mobility equipment for the 5 communes of the Chamonix Valley. The wheelchairs can be used by visitors to the valley and those living locally who, due to their disability, can no longer explore the mountains with any level of autonomy. As a mountain runner you will understand that running in the mountains is a great healer of mind and spirit. By supporting Access Mont Blanc you will be directly contributing to the physical and mental wellbeing of those who can no longer run free, but still dream of mountain adventure and exploration.
At Access Mont Blanc we are all volunteers sharing the belief that handicap should not be a barrier to adventure.
We organise expeditions which prove the accessibility and safety of local trails, before we incorporate these routes into our free guidebook. We also take part in guided hand bike excursions and assist local events with our mobility equipment.
‘Limitless’, is our annual weekend of adapted mountain sports, whereby anyone with a disability, be it physical or mental, can try a mountain sport for free. Physical activity helps to boost the mind, body and spirit and Limitless helps people to discover a new sport so they can benefit from a feeling of accomplishment and wellbeing.
Please support our Association and make the mountains accessible to everyone.
