Rhône-Alpes mountains

"En mode rando course depuis le Praz de Lys en passant par la Crotte. Jolie montée dans les alpages. Traversée du troupeau de vaches. On a hésité pour descendre par la face ouest pour boucler la balade mais finalement on est revenu sur nos pas" — vincentbonnet7 • May 21, 2020

"Climbed East ridge from La Berarde with Susan. Descent to Refuge Soreiller via normal route. Rock climbing to grade 4 , easy to protect and with a 30 metre rope you can move together most of the time. 60 metres makes the descent easier if you want to abseil rather than downclimb." — johnandsue4fun • Sep 4, 2018

"That was one of the goals I was preparing for as part of my solo expedition in the Alps! Tried to scale it all the way from Chamonix, but after reaching the top of Mer de glace glacier, got kicked out by bad weather and nasty crevasses on Glacier du Geant icefall. So I took the lift to Aiguille du Midi and went up the 3 Monts route to Mont Blanc and spent the night at Vallot bivouac at 4365m. The next day walked all the way down to the village Les Houches at 1000m altitude. " — Christos • Aug 11, 2018

"Second trip to Chamonix and even a rainy day was the best day weather wise I’ve had in town. Took the lift up halfway to Planpraz and climbed through snow to the summit. Rain held until just below the summit, but let up for the descent. Obscured but beautiful views across to Mont Blanc. Complete TR: https://themtsarecalling.com/brevent/" — Christopher • Jun 12, 2018

"Left from the Refuge de la Lavey around 4am, up to Glacier du Lac (around 1h30), then crampons on and onward to the couloir where you reach the foot of the Aiguille. Then it's a small easy climb where you don't really need to rope up except for the last few meters. All in all takes between 3 and 5 hours to go up depending on the snow conditions and your stamina/skills. We did all the way down sliding down, much funnier and faster!" — Bryan-Mestre • May 21, 2017
