Trois Monts Route
Day 0
Gear Check in Chamonix, France. Our guides will double check that you have all the right gear for the trip and help you minimize weight, decide on the perfect layers, and choose how much food and water to bring.
Day 1
We’ll get a casual start, making sure that we have all our necessary gear before we take the tram to the top of the Aiguille du Midi. From there, we’ll take a short hike to the Refuge des Cosmiques where we’ll prepare our gear, discuss the summit climb, eat a nice, hit dinner and get to bed early.
Day 2
A predawn start will set us up for success on our summit attempt. We’ll start with a hot breakfast from the hut, gear up and head out for the summit via the Trois Monts Route. We’ll traverse 4.5 miles, climbing over 4300’ to gain the summit of Mont Blanc as we pass Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit. The terrain is engaging and the position on the mountain is spectacular! From our high point, we’ll descend back to Refuge des Cosmiques where we’ll be greeted with food and drinks.
Day 3
We’ll sleep in and descend back to town when the tram opens in the morning.
