Climbing La Meije Orientale

The Meije is probably the most emblematic summit in the Massif de l’Oisans. Meije Orientale (3891m) is the most easterly of its top edges. Its North ridge offers a beautiful snowy affordable race. 

I take my friends and clients up there between June and September.

The climb in 2 days with a night at the Eagle Refuge. I manage up to 2 people. Beyond a second guide is present.

Here is the program that I propose:

Day 1 :

Departure from the Hamlet of Villard-of Arena. Climb to the Eagle refuge. This long climb to the highest refuge of the massif is a separate race. Easy passage to rock and walk on the glacier Tabuchet.

• Schedule: 6 to 8
• Elevation: 1750m

Day 2:

Ascent from and descent to the Refuge de l’Aigle. The Tabuchet glacier leads us to the foot of a large snow slope. (40 degrees) Our route continues with a stop joint to the top.

• Schedule: 4 to 5 hours
• Elevation: 500m
• Difficulty: PD level (somewhat difficult). Steep passage snow. Running at altitude.

A good fitness level is required.

I invite you to contact me if this beautiful mountaineering program is what you like. I’d be happy to take you there and make you live a unique experience.
