# Mont Blanc m 4810 - Along the French regular route















FROM GOUTER HUT From mid June to mid September

The king Mont Blanc: a dream for any mountaineer. The French regular route through the Refuge du Gouter is considered the easiest one among all the regulars routes. However, is not to be understimated, because of its overall length and the high altitude.

After the characteristic ride by train that goes to the Nid d 'Aigle, we’ll have to do a long and tiring walk along the Glacier de Tete Rousse and the Grand Couloir to reach the renowned Refuge du Gouter. From here, through a totally glacial and spectacular environment, we will reach the top of our dream.

Meeting with the Mountain Guide in Les Houches at the Lift station of Bellevue. After the check of the equipment we’ ll take the cable car to Bellevue and then the train for the Nid d'Aigle 2330 m. From there along a nice trail we’ ll reach the Refuge Tete Rousse. Now the climb will be more demanding along the infamous face of the Aiguille de Gouter.

Walk up m 1520, 5 hours

2ndDay

#### Climb to the top

Departure around 3:30; a short flat section will give us the possibility to warm up. After that, we’ ll walk up along a quite steep slope until the Dome de Gouter Col 4300m. From here we’ll find a short descent and in a few minutes we’ ll reach the Vallot bivouac . After a quick break in the hut we’ ll climb the last part of the ascent along the Arete des Bosses. The amazing one, here the ridge looses inclination and becomes flat and wide close to the Top. The way down is along the same itinerary.

Walk up m 1010. Down m 2510. 9/10 hours

#### More details
