Mont Blanc Trois Monts Route, a spectacular glacier climb!
Mont Blanc with its 4810 meter elevation is the highest and most prestigious peak in the Alps. Since when, on August 8th 1786, Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard conquered its summit, every mountain lover wants to reach it at least once in a lifetime.
The climb to the summit of Mont Blanc from Refuge des Cosmiques is the French Normal Route known as Mont Blanc Trois Monts Route: Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248 m), Mont Maudit (4465 m), Mont Blanc (4810 m). It is an extremely evocative yet demanding path. The view that this peak offers is spectacular and endless.
The ascent to the summit of Mont Blanc (4810) through the Mont Blanc Trois Monts Route, (Cosmiques Normal French Route) features an exciting, scenic and extremely rewarding climb among snow, ice, crevasses, seracs and ridges. This French Normal Route from Refuge des Cosmiques does not feature extreme technical issues but it entails a good physical effort and a certain confidence with elevation and high mountain environments.
Day 1
The ascent to the summit of Mont Blanc starts from Chamonix, by the Aiguille du Midi cable car station where the alpine guide will supervise the check of all the equipment. Taking the cable car the mountaineers will reach Mount Aiguille du Midi from where they will go down through a thin and exposed ridge and through a beautiful glacier until they will reach Refuge des Cosmiques, marvelously fitted on a scenic rocky wall. Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2
The climbers will resume their ascent, still in deep night, with a comfortable stretch on Mount Col de Midi that will allow the bodies to warm up. The progression, then, gets steeper through the slopes of Mount Mont Blanc de Tacul and it goes all the way to the shoulder. Climbing up, then, on an evocative traverse the mountaineers will keep going under Mount Mont Maudit. Next comes a very steep stretch that leads to Mount Colle della Brenva from where the last climb starts. After climbing up the steep slope of Mount Mur de la Cote the climbers will overcome the large final hump. Often meeting mountaineers coming from the opposite side, they will climb the last stretch that leads to the summit. The view that Mont Monte Bianco offers is absolutely spectacular. The descent takes place through the Normal Route from Rifugio Gouter.
