From here you will start climb the aerial Bosse Ridge till the top, where you will enjoy the most beautiful view of the Giants of the Alps.

Prerequisites

The ascent to Mont Blanc summit is a Classic climb on the Western Alps. Despite this, good physical fitness and altitude training are required. To guarantee the ascent we require the ability to face excursions of at least 1400m with ease, so as not to have problems on the day of the ascent. The high altitude can affect the performance of the mountaineers, having some climbing experience at high altitude or good acclimatization will make the ascent easier.
