Mont-Blanc : Classic Traverse route

Our course sticks to a very low guiding ratio, so that other great climbs can be attempted as we prepare for the 4808m summit. Three full days are scheduled for the ascent, allowing more flexibility to weather and conditions.

bulletOur advice : for the most fit ones, prefer the Royal Route by the Grands Mulets hut and Goûter north ridge.
bullet Course program : could be modified according to weather conditions, could be reduced to the two days of the ascent for trained people.
bulletD1 & D2 : Acclimatizing & training route (ex : Aiguille du Tour , Mont Blanc du Tacul...), snow & ice crampooning technique, night in an altitude hut
bulletD3 : Rest day or spare day (according to weather forecast)
bulletD4 : Climbing to the Cosmiques hut
bulletD5 : Mont-Blanc ascent :  Mont-Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit, Mont-Blanc
