Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at 10:30 AM at the car park of the Les Houches cable car, to check your bag and equipment with the guide.
We all leave with our own packed lunch in our bag.
We will take the cable car, then the train to arrive at the Nid d'Aigle at 2,370m.
From this point, we will head to the Refuge de Tête Rousse, for about 2h30 of walking - +820m
Refuge de Tête Rousse on a half board basis, with water and Night in dormitory.
day 2
Departure at dawn from the Tête Rousse refuge, towards the Goûter Refuge. We will pass by the spur of Goûter with its famous passage of the corridor.
The advantage of leaving early will allow us to pass this corridor in good conditions.
We will climb for about 3 hours to reach the Refuge du Goûter. We will take a short break and a snack, and leave all the equipment not necessary for the ascent of the summit of Mont Blanc.
From the Goûter refuge, an additional 4 hours will be necessary to reach the summit and finally set foot on the coveted 4,810m.
2 hours later we will be back at the Goûter refuge to enjoy a well-deserved hot meal, rest and enjoy an exceptional night at an altitude of more than 3,800m.
Dinner with water and night at the Goûter refuge.
day 3
After a good breakfast at the Goûter refuge (or further down at the Tête Rousse refuge), we will start the descent path, towards the Tête Rousse refuge (2h of descent), then the Eagle's Nest (1h30 of descent) where the train and the cable car will take us back to our cars.
Before separating, we will share a meal together to relive the moment of sharing that we all experienced.
