On 17th August 2017, the mayor of Saint-Gervais, Jean-Marc Peillex, issued a municipal order with immediate effect stating that "anyone attempting to climb Mont Blanc via the Gouter Route must have a minimum level of equipment and clothing". Any offender will get a €38 fine. Contact the Chamonix High Mountain Guides for further information. There are two choices for the way down, back to the Aiguille du Midi or back down on the same route.Ī mountain guide takes a maximum of two clients on the mountain. This route takes about 4 hours and a half to reach the summit. This is an exposed ridge which requires concentration and good crampon technique. Walk past the Vallot shelter, an emergency bivouac, and then climb along the Bosses ridge, the two lumps which form the distinctive skyline seen from the valley. Most of the ascent is a long slow plod without any steep ground to encounter. Early on the second day, leave the Gouter hut and from here on there is glaciated terrain and crampons are required, with harnesses and ropes. The last 550m from here is scrambling rather than walking and not always easy, especially on the descent, because of the tiredness. Just after the Tête Rousse refuge, cross the infamous Grand Couloir where there is often rock fall from above. The first section is easy walking terrain on a well established path. From here there is about 5 hours of walking/scrambling to the Gouter refuge (3,817m). Take the Bellevue cable car from Les Houches and then take the Tramway du Mont Blanc to the Nid d'Aigle (2,372m) (here you can find the rates for cable car and the tramway). The hut is open from the beginning of June to the end of September. Remember that you need to book in advance the Gouter Refuge. This is the classic and most popular route to climb Mont Blanc. While not technically challenging, ascending Mont Blanc requires a high level of physical fitness and experience using crampons and an ice axe. The slightly easier and more reliable option is via the Tramway du Mont Blanc to the Nid d'Aigle, then up the Aiguille du Gouter and the Bosse ridge, but be aware of serious rockfall hazards in the Grand Couloir of the Aiguille du Gouter. The route from the Aiguille du Midi, over Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit is generally quieter, and highly dependent on conditions, but slightly more technical.
