Highlights
- Explore the spiked alpine summits of the Aiguilles Marbrées.
- Experience spectacular alpine scenery of neighbouring snow-cloaked mountains.
- Be reassured with a fully, internationally-certified guide.
Description
Climb across the excellent piercing spires of Aiguilles Marbrées that congregate at the border of France and Italy.
With easy access and enjoyable climbing conditions, these scattered summits present ideal opportunities for great climbing and spectacular scenery.
We begin with a drive from the beautiful alpine commune of Chamonix to the Italian side of Mont Blanc. From here we grab the cable car to the mountain of Punta Helbronner.
Once situated here we’ll cross the Col du Geant, a gorgeous glacier on Mont Blanc, and then start climbing along the tight rocky peaks of Aiguilles Marbrées.
As we approach the Aiguilles Marbrées we will traverse the steeper east ridge, moving quickly and efficiently. The route is shorter than neighbouring mountains yet is still a mixed climb coated by white powder.
After taking the views in we’ll descend a different way, on the south ridge, which is longer yet mellower. Afterwards we’ll return to catch the cable car to Courmayeur.
The climb acts as an excellent training ground as well as an acclimatisation ascent for more demanding climbs in the future.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in Chamonix for a 1-day traverse of the rocky spires of the Aiguilles Marbrées.

Mountain Guide
I'm an IFMGA mountain guide from Romania and a member of the Austrian Mountain Guides Association (VOBS) and the East European Mountain Guides Association(EEMGA).
My passions are alpinism, rock and ice climbing and ski touring. Over the last decade and a half I have climbed and skied all corners of the World, spent numerous seasons guiding in the Himalayas, New Zealand, Alps and the Carpathians Mountains.
My primary concern as your guide is your safety. With that comes a great deal of fun, learning and engaging in experiences that will be memorable for a lifetime. I hope to have the opportunity to climb with you and help you achieve climbs, summits and experiences not yet imagined!
I have a very strict policy on guide-to-guest ratios for all types of terrain and these are clearly explained prior to engagement. For multi pitch climbs it is usually 1:1 and it never exceeds 1:2. For single pitch venues (especially on instructional outings) it never exceeds 1:4. Higher ratios are possible with the hiring of additional guides and only following prior arrangements. For treks and ski tours the ratios are more generous but depending on the terrain and/or the group’s experience.
I am comfortable in using for guiding and teaching purposes the following languages: English and Romanian.

It was an amazing experience. Daniel Pobega was excellent. Calm, friendly and very professional. Will definitely book another trip with him if not Vallee Blanche but other future activities.

We had a great time , unfortunately Cosmin broke his arm two weeks before the trip but the replacement guide Nicu Durnac was superb.

The plan was to leave early to ascent Mont Blanc via Trois Monts. As a beginner, Cosmin accessed my performance by timing my ascent to the shoulder of Tacul, else he has to change the plan. I met the timing and proceeded to Maudit. Unfortunately, he made a tough decision to head back as the condition at the foot of Maudit was not great. (We heard serac fell at mid day). Being professional, Cosmin changed the plan to ascent Tacul and we did Cosmique Arete. I would highly recommend this trip!
Katherine
