Mont-Blanc - 3 days

With Yann and Gaëlle, three days on Mont Blanc: Tête Rousse, a summit in clear skies and a night at the Goûter hut, after an earlier outing in the Écrins.

A smooth-running Mont Blanc ascent with Yann and Gaëlle!

After our first outing together in the Écrins a month earlier, we meet again to climb the big white mountain over three days.

Day 1 — A night at Tête Rousse

Our first stage brings us to the Tête Rousse hut for the night. What comes next will depend on the conditions.

Day 2 — Mont Blanc summit and the Goûter hut

On the second day, we get an idyllic weather window: endless blue skies, mild temperatures and no wind…

So off we go, all the way to the summit! After a night at the Goûter hut, all that will remain is the descent the following day.

Gaëlle keeps us guessing about how she is feeling above Vallot, but everything eventually settles down. With the team’s positive energy, we can all enjoy the summit together!

For once, we can really take our time up there. Wonderful!

Day 3 — Back to the Nid d’Aigle

After our night at the Goûter hut, we descend early to limit our exposure to rockfall in the couloir, while recognising that an early start does not remove the risk.

With plenty of snow still lying, we spare our knees and make an easy return to the Nid d’Aigle.
