The complete Dômes de Miage traverse via the Durier Hut is a classic of high-mountain mountaineering. Known for the elegance of its snowy ridge and its isolation, this crossing is considered one of the most beautiful climbs in the Mont Blanc massif.
From the Miage chalets, the ascent to the Durier Hut via the Plan Glacier and the Col de Miage is already a true adventure, with cable sections and technical passages. On the second day, the route follows the entire ridge, from the fifth dome to the East summit (3673 m), before continuing with the classic crossing to the Aiguille de la Bérangère.
This demanding climb offers a rare high-altitude experience and a spectacular panorama of the surrounding massifs: Mont Blanc, Vanoise, Valais, and the Italian Alps. An exceptional route reserved for experienced mountaineers.
In group: every Saturday from June to mid-September, depending on conditions.
Private: every day from June to September, depending on conditions.

Mountaineering experience is required for this climb. Good preparation is essential for this ascent, aimed at fit individuals. You will be hiking for about 10 hours per day, so you should prepare by practicing long-duration cardio exercises. Endurance sports: cycling, running. And don’t forget, for 2 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.
