Description
I want you to come with me on a journey to the top of the Aiguilles Marbrees (3,535m) in the Mont Blanc Massif.
Beginning in Italy, you will cross the border into France as you scale this mountain. It's not often you can start in one country and end up in another while climbing a mountain. Hence making this climbing expedition a truly remarkable, international affair. Starting in Torino, we will take a 30 minute lift ride before I start guiding you up the mountain.
While it is not as big as the other peaks in the Mont Blanc Massif, the Aiguilles Marbrees is still a great peak to climb. And as a result of its smaller stature, it enables you to enjoy scaling it to the top in a single day. However, don't be dissuaded because the mountain is not one of the biggest in the area. For the views are still spectacular. Because when you reach the summit of this mountain, you will still have the same opportunity to see the glory of the Alps you would have while climbing any of the other mountains. Except with the Aiguilles Marbrees, you have the unique experience of seeing them in both France and Italy.
You don't have to be an expert to enjoy this climb, but some experience is a plus. And because it is only a one-day trip, you don't have to bring much. As I will supply you with the equipment you will need to safely make the climb.
So come with me on this incredible day trip to the summit of the Aiguilles Marbrees. Where you can enjoy the thrill of mountaineering in the Alps, while also smiling at the thought of crossing the invisible borders of two countries as you do so.
I look forward to your message.
If you want to join me on another mountaineering expedition in the Alps. This time climbing the Aiguille d'Entreves. You can also join me here.

About the guide
Roberto “Rouge” Rossi, born on 24/02/1976 in Turin, forms the Mountain Passion guide team with Riccardo Olliveri.
I graduated in Biology, and I'm a Mountain Guide since 2003, and Guide Instructor since 2007.
I'm enthusiastic for all that is mountains and verticality, practice 360-degree mountaineering, with a large number of climbs along the entire Western Alpine arc where I've made all kinds of climbs and on all terrains, with a predilection for Mont Blanc. However, I did not neglect the extra-European mountains by making extra-European and European trips and expeditions including Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Japan, Canada, USA.
I now divide my days between Cervinia and Chamonix, and I'm a great lover of high mountain climbing and steep skiing, among which the descents of the North of Lyskamm, of the East and of the South of Monte Rosa, of the North of Aiguille du Midi along different itineraries and east of the Matterhorn. I'm also a trainer for work at height with access and positioning systems using ropes and for third category fall protection PPE.
I collaborate with specialized magazines in the sector (ALP, Planetmountain) and am a consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle, Edelweiss, ARVA, BLUE ICE.
