Aiguille Verte course
Massif du Mont-Blanc range
Technical and instructional content of "SNOW and ICE" courses


Aiguille Verte courses (4201m) : from March to July, ascent generally via the "couloir Couturier" or the "Couturier + sortie Bettembourg", descent via the Jardin ridge or by abseil down the Whymper (East face) , or the Moine ridge; OR the FRENDO/ RAVANEL gully, 5+, which does not finish on the summit; and, another day, ascent of the AIGUILLE VERTE by the VIVAGEL gully, or maybe an easier route!

In the middle of summer, or in September, the gullies are too dry, and are impraticable (as well as being subject to stonefall from mid-July onwards), so we will climb the sensational "Grands Montets" ridge (or the "sans Nom" ridge) with one or two bivouacs during the ascent : this is a mixed route resembling the "Cosmiques" ridge, but eight times longer.

• Duration : 8 days
• Date : from the beginning of October until the beginning of July
• encadrement : guide de haute montagne
• Price : Price per person: 1300 EUROS for training and supervision
