This essay aims to show the historical and cultural context of Antoni Malczewski's ascent to the summit of Mont Blanc in 1818. It deals therefore both with his letter to Prof. Pictet, which was published by the Bibliotheque Universelle of Geneva in the same year as well as the third note to Malczewski's poetical tale 'Maria'. Malczewski's ascent to Europe's highest peak has been regarded as an important episode in the history of the conquest of that last unexplored areas of our continent. The poet's two accounts of his expedition (one scientific for the Swiss learned revue and the other literary, contained in his 'Maria') are compared with the classic account the theme of mountaineering, Petrarca's letter to Dionigi di Borgo San Sepolcro with the well-known description of the ascent of Mont Ventoux, as well as some relevant texts by de Saussure and Goethe. The aim is to identify both some typical elements of such accounts and the distinctly new aesthetic potential of Malczewski's mountain experience.
