The day before – Welcome in Saint-Gervais
Meeting at 6:30 pm at the guides’ office to meet your guide and prepare the equipment.
Day 1 – Acclimatization and climbing around the Torino Hut
Crossing the Mont-Blanc Tunnel and taking the cable car up to Pointe Helbronner.
Ascent of ridges or rock climbing routes in the area (Marbrées, Entrèves, or the Vierge sector). Overnight at the Torino Hut.
Day 2 – Ascent of the Dent du Géant (4,013 m)
Early departure to reach the “dining room” ledge, then the base of the route.
Granite climbing right on the ridge crest, with fixed ropes and airy sections leading to the summit Madonna. Exceptional panoramic views over the massif. Descent by abseil, then return to the Skyway Helbronner.
The guides may adjust the program according to the weather, mountain conditions, and the participants’ skill level.
With its slender profile and legendary reputation, the Dent du Géant (4,013 m) is a must-do climb for any alpinist passionate about major ascents. Straddling the French–Italian border, it towers above the Glacier du Géant basin, facing the Grandes Jorasses and Mont Blanc.
This two-day course immerses you in the granite world of the Mont-Blanc range: a first day to acclimatize at altitude on an airy ridge or a rock climb in the Grand Capucin sector, followed by the summit ascent the next day. A unique experience combining verticality, sun-warmed rock, and a true high-mountain atmosphere, accessible to those who already master the fundamentals of mountaineering and natural rock climbing.
Departures every day from May to September, depending on conditions.
Directly on our website or using the dated and signed registration form, accompanied by a 40% deposit and any optional insurance fees. The balance must be paid 60 days before departure.
1 guide for a maximum of 1 client. You will be guided by a certified high-mountain guide or aspirant guide.
Good preparation is required for this ascent; it is intended for athletic individuals who already have experience in mountaineering and rock climbing. We will be operating at altitude between 2,700 and 4,000 m, so it is essential to prepare in the preceding months by regularly practicing an endurance sport and, if possible, completing a few rock climbing sessions.
We will be on a high-mountain route, and you must be aware of the hazards associated with this activity (crevasses, serac falls, rockfall, avalanches, and occasionally harsh weather conditions).

Repatriation
Having “assistance–repatriation” insurance is mandatory to take part in our trips: it must cover you in high mountains for search and rescue by helicopter. If you do not have “assistance–repatriation” insurance, we can provide one at a rate of €5/day.
Cancellation
We also offer optional “cancellation” insurance at a rate of €12/day. This insurance does not take into account the sporting nature of our trips. It must be purchased at the time of registration to take effect.
As a reminder, cancellation insurance covers you from the moment you register until the start of your trip if something happens and you cannot attend. We apply cancellation fees as specified on our registration form and in our terms of sale. These fees may be reimbursed by the cancellation insurance if your reason for cancelling is covered.
If you pay by credit card, feel free to check the insurance included with it.
As a reminder, in the event of cancellation you must file your claim with the insurer within 5 days of the accident or reason for cancelling, otherwise it will not be valid (then check whether the reason for cancellation is covered).
Insurance fees are non-refundable.
