Ski Mont Blanc 3 days
With this three day itinerary you only have one preparation day, used by your guide to assess your fitness and ability to make an attempt climbing and skiing down Mont Blanc. It is therefore imperative that you already have the necessary experience. You need to be an accomplished off-piste skier with a lot of ski mountaineering experience including use of crampons and ice axe. You also need to have a very good level of fitness and spend time at altitude in order to acclimatise prior to climbing and skiing Mont Blanc.
The route we choose will depend on the prevailing conditions, the group’s ability and ultimately on the guides’ decision. The classic way to go up Mont Blanc on skis is from the mid-station of the Aiguille du Midi cable car via the Grands Mulets refuge. This route is used less and less in favour of the route via the Cosmiques refuge and the “Trois Mont Blancs”, which is less exposed to serac danger.
This 3 day programme can be added as an extension to the Ski Touring course, Haute Route trip. We offer a 5% discount on Mont Blanc if booked at the same time.
