1-day Aiguilles Marbrées Traverse in Chamonix-Mont Blanc

Explore the impressive ridge that marks the border between France and Italy during this 1 day privately guided traverse of Aiguilles Marbrées!

We will spend the a memorable day climbing in the classic alpine landscapes of the Mont Blanc massif as we complete a quick and efficient traverse of Aiguilles Marbrées. To make the most of our experience and explore two faces of the mountain, we will ascend the steep eastern ridge of the peak and descend via the southern ridge, which is long but mild. The route to the summit is rocky, and depending on conditions may be a mixed climb that requires the use of crampons. If there’s no snow, it will be an alpine rock climb.

We will begin in Chamonix, driving to the cable car at Punta Helbroner, located on the Italian side of the Alps. Once we arrive at the mountain, we traverse the Col du Glacier du Geant in order to reach the Aiguilles Marbrées. Once the ascent is complete, we will take the cable-car for our return to Courmayeur.

While this route is shorter than nearby climbs, we will still aim to complete the climb in a quick and efficient manner, making use of our previous mountaineering experience. While this is a great climb in its own right, it would also serve as an excellent acclimatization or training climb for another nearby objective.
