Details of the program

This Mont Blanc traverse is for mountaineers having been successful on Mont Blanc normal route or for very fit beginners in mountaineering! Here is a mountaineering course, during which three nights are spent at altitude, in order to acclimatize gradually.

Then, after a night’s rest and recuperation in the valley, we go up either to Tête Rousse hut or to the Cosmiques hut (3 613 m) on the Aiguille du Midi cable-car. After a short night and big “midnight breakfast!” (waking up you at 1.00 in the night), we set off from here for Europe’s highest summit.
Our ascent by the three peaks route: our last thirty-four years’ experience with these courses has led us to prefer this to the ‘Gouter’ route, as it offers a better chance of success.

To get the top of the Mont Blanc, you need to be fit in walking uphill, to learn to walk with crampons and a rope, and to acclimatize.

You are a regular walker and used to steep terrain. Your physical fitness is excellent, you practise an endurance sport twice a week (running, swimming, cycling). If this is not the case, you should run for 30mn, three times a week, and go for long walks at altitude as often as possible, (also sleeping in altitude, above 3 000 m), during the 2 months preceding your departure.
