This high-elevation alpine route features the high point of this guidebook. Not only is it a varied, fun, and technical run, because the regular route up Mont Blanc begins at the Nid d’Aigle and passes the Tête Rousse Hut, but it also provides a glimpse into the world of mountaineering. On this rocky, lunar, high-elevation terrain, you’ll likely come across some of the many ibex that live up in these parts, away from the bustle of the lower elevations.
Bonus KMs and Bailouts
The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we’ve included the download below.
