The routes

Great climb up Gran Flambeau, past thin ice and lots of mixed terrain.

Mtbness on Aiguilles Marbrées is a very logical climb up the left-hand side of the mountain, a few meters to the right of a summer rock route equipped with pegs. It follows a series of frozen corners to reach the...

Mystery ascends a beautiful line on the west face of Aiguille du Plan, between the climbs Voie Gabarrou-Picard Deyme and Voie Fontaine. The initial snow couloir may have been climbed previously, while the final 200m headwall is testing and presents...

Nati Liberi on the east face of Aiguille de la Brenva is a very beautiful mixed climb that exceeded our expectations. The couloir provided us with 350 meters of pure pleasure. We were super enthusiastic with every pitch, because everyone...

Climbed ground-up by the mountain guides Daniele Macagno and Enrico Turnaturi in summer 2013. While not particularly long, the climbing is fairly demanding and the rock is almost always superb. Another plus point is the short approach: if the road that...

A very logical line that offers all types of climbing styles.This mixed route is particularly demanding both physically and psychologically, up difficult and delicate ice and, at times, past tricky rock.

Despite facing east this beautiful icefall is almost always in condition since it is set deep in a gully and the sun only briefly touches on its rocky flanks. In many respects Pareri Contrastanti is reminiscent of the Modica-Noury on...

Excellent route to finish off the day. The first pitch icefall is beautiful and good fun.

An extremely beautiful icefall, one of the most repeated routes in the valley and consequently often crowded. Not to be missed nevertheless. All belays have been equipped with with bolts. The first big drip leads to an amphitheatre, from where...

Interesting ice fall which climbs a series of drips, never too sustained. The ambience is truly special, with views onto Mont Blanc. In particularly good seasons the first drip forms (50m II - 4+/5)

Another great creation by the legendary Alessandro Jaccod. On the second pitch do not belay on the old peg belay on the left, but continue on to the top and belay on the right (bolts).

Repentance is composed of two distinct sections combined by a 60° snow and ice gully. The first section is more sustained and elegant while the second is easier (4°) and even in its own right would be a nice icefall....

A logical, varied, technical, long and demanding route. This difficulties can vary considerably depending on the conditions and with its 700m in length it can be regarded as a mini grand course. The first section is a winding couloir with...

The Ollomont valley with its mixed climbs is a true paradise; away from the more famous crowded areas, below Mont Vela and Grand Combin are a flurry of icefalls immersed in absolute tranquility. Rikiteppa is located immediately to the left...

An ephemeral couloir, never too extreme but not to be underestimated due to the difficulty in placing gear on some pitches. Comparable to the Rebuffat Terray route on the Pelerins in dry conditions... with a bit more climbing to do...!
