SCHEDULE
Meet the guide early in the morning for an equipment check and a briefing. Afterward, we’ll drive to Courmayeur and take the Sky Way cable car up to Punta Helbronner at 3462 meters. We’ll enjoy a brief visit to the panoramic terrace, where our destination is already clearly visible. From there, we’ll descend onto the glacier, initially heading towards the Dente del Gigante before veering towards the Aiguilles Marbrées. We’ll climb the North-East face, with some fun climbing along the way. Once we reach the abseil line, we can decide whether to head back directly or continue along the ridge to complete the "full traverse." With some more challenging climbing sections, we’ll reach the end of the ridge and descend on foot. Our return will follow the Dente del Gigante glacier back to the Torino Refuge for a short break. In the afternoon, we’ll take the cable car back down to the valley.
NOTE: The meeting time and location will be confirmed at the time of booking.
