The day before – Welcome in Saint-Gervais
Meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Saint-Gervais guides’ office to meet your guide and prepare for the outing.
Day 1 – Traverse of the Aiguilles Marbrées (3,535 m)
Early departure from Saint-Gervais to Courmayeur (approximately 45 minutes by car). From the Skyway Monte Bianco station, take the cable car up to Pointe Helbronner (3,462 m).
From there, easy access leads onto the Géant Glacier before reaching the Aiguilles Marbrées Ridge. Depending on conditions and skill level, the route can be done as an out-and-back or a full traverse. This mixed route combines snow travel and rock sections, perfect for learning alpine climbing techniques.
Throughout the climb, the atmosphere is magnificent: views of the Grandes Jorasses, the Rochefort Ridge, and the full Peuterey Ridge on Mont Blanc. Return to Courmayeur by cable car in the early afternoon.
The guides may adjust the program according to the weather, mountain conditions, and the participants’ skill level.
The ascent of the Aiguilles Marbrées (3,535 m) is a mixed climb, ideal for discovering high-altitude alpine climbing. Starting from Pointe Helbronner, accessible by cable car from Courmayeur, it combines quick access with a varied route, alternating snow travel and rock sections.
The Aiguilles Marbrées Ridge offers a complete experience, where rope-team and mixed climbing techniques are applied in a gentle progression. Depending on conditions, the climb can be done as a traverse or an out-and-back, always under the guidance of a high-mountain guide.
Beyond the technical aspect, the setting is exceptional. Between the Géant Glacier, the Grandes Jorasses, the Rochefort Ridge, and the full Peuterey Ridge, the panorama is spectacular. A varied and accessible day of alpine climbing, perfect for progressing and experiencing the unique atmosphere of the Italian Mont Blanc massif.

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.
