@@jamesspacer7994Thank you for the kind comment! I used running and cycling for fitness and felt well prepared. But you will need some experience and be comfortable on snowy mountains with crampons, etc

@@DunkTheHunk thank you!

@waleedmukhtar2925 the scramble between the 2 huts is a real highlight of the route. You gain height quickly, about 600 meters in 2 hours. I would grade it a 1 as there is nothing technically difficult and there are fixed steel cables in place for the trickier bits. Tryfan or Crib Goch are more difficult. However it is good fun, the views are great, and there is a real sense of achievement reaching the Gouter ridge and seeing the snow and next phase of the route

@deanmurray7850 actually this was my first 4000m mountain! But I trained very hard and had a good level of fitness which was definitely necessary

Hi there, I used B2 boots for the whole trip and my feet were warm enough on the summit. I did bring some walking shoes but I didn't really use them and just put them in my bag.

Thank you! I was an incredible experience

Hello Drannerz Many thanks for your response. Yes, these experiences are fantastic. I wish you good mountain tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig

Haha! So glad you noticed the marmot! I took it up the mountain for my 5 year old son and gave it to him when I got back

Enjoy! I would definitely recommend making the ascent over a couple of days with a night in one of the huts to acclimatise. Going to the summit in 1 day was very hard work!

Sadly I had to postpone but working up a new plan.

Thank you!

They were stood just by the Nid d'Aigle tram stop. If you're using the tram it would be quite hard to avoid them, but they wouldn't be there at night.

​@@drannerzWhere and how did you do your previous aclimatation?

@@reborn3530 I didn't acclimatise. And I don't recommend this! I had to push through the altitude sickness

@@drannerz Wow! Insane.

I didn't realise there would be police up there. I'm trying to get documented before my trip. What's the point of the police? Not to allow anyone without reservation to go up or what?

Hi there, there are currently a limited number of trams each day that go all the way to Nid d'Aigle, and they are only available to people with reservations at the mountain huts. If you go to the first 2 stops at Saint Gervais there are ticket offices where you can enquire and get the ticket you need to Nid d'Aigle. Good luck for your trip!

Thank you!
