We agreed to accompany some former clients for a jamboree to have an attempt at Mont Blanc in September - accompanied by a local mountain guide Pierrot Firoucci and his colleague - the intrepid - Stephane Benoist. We stayed in the friendly La Chaumiere hotel (with a great view of the big white lump)...and had some great warm up days on the Mer de Glace and at altitude.....the mountain itself was less kind on the summit morning - respect the hill!! Worse was the attitude of a lot of people at the crowded Gouter hut and the motorway feel to the route up......I'd suggest you obtain more technical skill and avoid the Gouter!
What is it about this place that makes it special
Feeling like a spec in the face of mother nature - wonderful scenery!
