TRAVERSEE DU MONT BLANC With Yves Astier, high mountain guide


A successful ascent of Mt. Blanc is every mountaineerâs dream. The first four days of our course are the same as for our "introduction to mountaineering" course, during which three nights are spent at altitude, in order to acclimatise gradually. Then, after a night's rest and recuperation in the valley, we go up to the Cosmiques hut (3613m) on the Aiguille du Midi cable car.

After a short night, we set off from here for Europeâs highest summit, by the three peaks route. Our last six years experience with these courses has led us to prefer this to the "Gouter" route, as it offers a better chance of success..

The ascent of Mt Blanc takes place on the sixth or seventh day of the course, depending on weather conditions, (the seventh day is a spare day in case of bad weather at altitude).
