AIGUILLES MARBRÉES
Embedded Files
Located in the Mont Blanc Massif, it is a classic mixed ridge situated not far from the Torino Refuge. Thanks to the presence of the Sky Way cable car, it can be easily traversed in a day.
VARIED MIXED ROUTE
This is an ideal one-day climb for those approaching alpine mixed climbing.

AESTHETIC LINE AND STUNNING VIEWS
You’ll have the chance to get a close-up view of the Giant’s Tooth.
_______________________________
This is a thorough ascent, ideal for everyone: from beginners looking to gain confidence with high-altitude terrain, to those who have already done other climbs independently and want to refine their technique. For the more ambitious, there's the option of the "full traverse," which slightly extends the time and increases the overall effort.
By spending a night at the Torino Hut, you can also combine this climb with others in the area, such as the Roberto Ridge, the Aiguilles d'Entrèves, or the normal route to the Tour Ronde.

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.
