Mont Blanc

For those who have skied the Bernese Oberland week and want to finish the season on the big one.

Ascending by the N ridge of the Dôme de Goûter. Technical but objectively the safest route up. See the photo section for shots from 2010.

Ratio 1:2

Skiing ability

You should be a competent off-piste skier/ski mountaineer capable of skiing slopes up to 35°. Carrying skis, axe and crampon work will be necessary.

Fitness

For all tours you should be able to enjoy ascending for 4 - 5 hours with a 10 - 12 kg rucksack. You should try to walk, run, cycle or swim as often as you can in preparation. The fitter you are the more you will enjoy your week.
