**Join me for this beautiful ascent on the Mont Blanc region, to Les Droites. The Normal Route consists in the ascent via the south face of this mountain. A great experience for experienced climbers, on one of the 82 4000ers in the Alps!**

The usual meeting point for this program is **Chamonix**. From there, we will walk to the **Couvercle hut** (2,687 m) from the **Montenvers station**, walking on the glacier. We will spend this night in the hut to retake activity early morning next day.

Next day, we will begin our traverse to the summit. This particular route – the **Normal Route** – is considered the more direct way to reach one of the less accessible 4000ers in the **Alps**.

The Les Droites ascent starts at an elevation of 2,700 m, while the **peak has an altitude of 4,001 m**. The approximate climbing time to Les Droites peak is between 4 and 5 hours.

On our way to the summit, we will experience the wilderness and untamed nature of this area of Mont Blanc. And at many point, we will also have the unique luxury of being alone in spectacular, unmatched scenery. Among the spots we will go by are:

*    the Glacier de Talèfre
    
*   the Aiguille Verte
    
*   the Jardin de Talèfre
    

The **terrain** on this ascent is mainly granite. It also involves 40-45° snow couloirs, and both rock and mixed bands.

The difficulty grade for this program is AD+.

Les Droites Normal Route ascent – Mont Blanc, France

I spend every summer 3 months in **the Alps** guiding my friends and clients in these beautiful mountains! That’s why I’d like to invite you to come as well.

I particularly enjoy climbing here because:

*   We can experience different cultures (French, Italian, Swiss, Austrian…) sometimes even in a single trip;
    
*   It’s a great way to eliminate arduous approaches with heavy packs thanks to an easy access to the walls;
    
*   The mountain huts are very often welcoming and confortable, especially in Italy 😉
    
*   Views on the different ranges (Mont Blanc Massif, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Saas Fee…) offer breathtaking panorama;
    
*   It contains full of epic stories about famous mountaineers who have climbed these mythical peaks;
    
*   There are options for all levels, from beginners to experts.
    

We can leave together for one or several days. If going for several days, let’s enjoy together a good time in one of these charming mountain huts that will leave you with unforgettable memories: having good discussions together with a nice beer and a delicious meal after a long day in the mountains…in an unique set up!

Based on your level and wishes, I will select for you several routes that we will discuss and validate together before leaving.

If it’s your first time, I will teach you the basics and give you the necessary skills to let you fully enjoy this awesome outdoor activity. If you are more experienced, we will define together a nice objective to reach.

Here are some examples of climbing ascents classified by difficulty level:

*   F= Facile = Easy = **Aiguille du Toule, Bishorn, North West Face, Aiguille du Tour;**
    
*   PD= Peu difficile = A little difficult = **Gran Paradiso, Mont Blanc (Goûter Route), Mönch (South-East Ridge), Jungfrau (via Rottalsattel);**
    
*   AD= Assez difficile = Fairly difficult = **Eiger (South Ridge), La Dent du Géant, l’Aiguille Verte, (Whymper Couloir);**
    
*   D= Difficile = Difficult = **Tour Ronde (North Face), Eiger (Mittellegi Ridge), Aiguille du Chardonnet (North Buttress);**
    
*   TD = Très difficile = Very difficult = **Les Drus (Bonatti Pillar), Matterhorn (North Face), Les Droites (NE Spur);**
    
*   ED= Extrêmement difficile = Extremely difficult = **Les Droites (North Face), Eiger (North Face), Grandes Jorasses (Walker Spur).**
    

Generally the season for climbing in the Alps runs from about the beginning of June, through about end-September.

I’m usually based in **Chamonix** but the different ranges are very close so all the options are possible and accessible in maximum a few hours. This gives us the flexibility to go where the conditions are the best.

**Please get in touch with me if you wish to come here and be accompanied by a mountain guide. I will be very happy to join you and let you spend a great time in one of the most famous climbing spots in the world.**

There are many options in the Alps for all levels of mountaineers. Pere, a Spanish IFMGA guide will help you find the perfect spots for you.

Guided climbing tours in the Alps

For **4 days**, I would like to guide you to the summits of 4 hard to reach peaks in the **Alps**. The 4 peaks we will be scaling on this trip include the **Aiguille Verte (4,122m), the Aiguille du Jardin (4,035m), the Grande Rocheuse (4,102m)** and **Les Droites (4,000m)**. Each one of these peaks are part of the **82, 4,000 meter plus peaks in the Alps**.

Our trip will begin in the famous and stunning town of **Chamonix**. From there, we will make our way to the **Couvercle hut**. The hut will be our base throughout the **5 day trip**, and is where we will be sleeping every night.

Each one of the climbs on this trip will be arduous. However, the views you will get from each summit are nothing short of incredible. And the feeling you will get after overcoming each challenge is indescribable. Needless to say, in order to participate on this trip, you should be a **very experienced climber**, prepared for some advanced level climbing. And because we will be climbing for approximately **8 – 10 hours per day**, and ascending **between 850 and 1,550 meters**, you should be in **good physical condition**.

**There is something truly thrilling about climbing mountains most people don’t attempt to climb. And on this 5 day expedition, I have no doubt you will have an experience you will never forget. To join me, please send a request. I look forward to guiding you.**
