The ascent of the Dômes de Miage in 3 days is a progressive adventure, ideal for combining technical learning and glacier crossing. From the Tré-la-Tête Glacier to the elegant Dômes ridge, you will discover one of the most beautiful snow climbs in the Mont Blanc massif.
On the first day, the snow and ice school helps solidify your foundation in crampon use, roped travel, and progression. The second day is dedicated to the actual ascent, with the crossing of the Dômes or the ascent of the Bérangère, depending on conditions and the group’s level. The third day offers a varied descent to the valley, via Tré-la-Tête or Chaborgne.
This trip combines technical skills, endurance, and a stunning panorama of Mont Blanc, Bionnassay, and the surrounding ranges.
In group: every Monday
Private: every day from mid-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.
Maximum 2 people per guide. Group departures guaranteed from 2 people. You will be supervised by a mountain guide.
Good physical preparation is required for this ascent, aimed at fit individuals. You will be walking for up to around 10 hours per day, so you should prepare by practicing long-duration cardio exercises. Endurance sports: cycling, running, or hiking with a backpack. Don’t forget that for 3 days, you will be hiking with an 8-kilogram backpack, which significantly increases the effort required, so during your training outings, make sure to walk with this additional weight.
You will be traveling on an unmarked high-mountain route and must be aware of the hazards associated with this activity (crevasses, serac falls, rockfall, avalanches, very low temperatures).
We are available to answer any questions you may have.

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.
