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, to leave all the material 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 meal and 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, we will take 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.
