A pint sized alpine classic near the Grand Montets cable car station, with some of the most dramatic views in the range from it’s summit.

PD 450 m 4-5 hrs

From the Grand Montets cable car station, it’s a short hike across the glacier to the foot of the NW Ridge. Getting onto the ridge can sometimes be difficult, especially when it’s icy. Once on the route, a series of obstacles present themselves – scrambling terrain, snow crests, traverses, steeper rock pitches – which all require quick assessment and appropriate choice of techniques in order to climb efficiently.
