1-day Ice Climbing on the Goulotte Chere, near Chamonix

Chamonix has a great number of stunning ice routes. On this trip we will climb the Goulotte Chere, a classic ice couloir in Triangle du Tacul, in the Mont Blanc massif. Join me!

Due to its easy access, Mont Blanc du Tacul is one of the most popular high mountain venues near Chamonix. Its north side, known as Triangle du Tacul, offers some gorgeous ice climbing spots such as the fabulous Goulotte Chéré.

On this day trip you will climb this classical ice route under expert guidance. Goulotte Chéré is an ice gully for beginners, with numerous escape routes. However, there is some danger of falling ice and you should be able to handle crampons and ice axes.

We will catch the Aiguille du Midi cable car, and after a half-hour hike we will reach the base of the ice waterfall. From there, we will head up a 3 or 4 hour ice climbing adventure.

Readily visible from Aiguille du Midi, the Chere Couloir offers some breathtaking views of the famous Vallée Blanche. You will enjoy a real sensation of alpine wilderness!

So, if you are up for this ice climbing trip in the Goulotte Chere, please contact us. I’ll be glad to guide you in the classic ice gully of  Mont Blanc du Tacul!
