- Hike to the summit of Mont Blanc 22/07/2023 via the Gouter route.
Day 1: leave Saint Gervais at 7am on the Mont Blanc tram up to Nid Aguille. Hike out past the Tete Rousse hut and climb to the Gouter hut for about 1pm. Then climb to Mont Blanc summit for around 4:45pm and descend back to the Gouter hut for about 6:45pm to spend the night.
Day 2: leave the Gouter hut at 7:30am and descend to Tete Rousse. Then Hike back to the tram and back to Saint Gervais for around 11:30am.
CORRECTIONS:
- I occasionally get the Gouter and Tete Rousse huts confused in my commentary. Sorry about this!
- Most importantly....... Rafal did make the summit! We got separated in the last hour of ascent, but he was about 15 minutes behind me and made the summit as I was starting my descent.
Ein Spaziergang.....
Thanks for filming and editing such a great video, I enjoyed watching. Impressed you got to the top in one go, that quite a feat. I'd been reading books about the early attempts to summit Mont Blanc, seeing the mountain is a big help. I've been to Chamonix and looked up at Mont Blanc but never climbed it. 🏴
Hello Drannerz

Bravo 👍
You made it look soo easy
Thank you!
Epic climb 🏔️🇫🇷and nicely documented too (4000 meters in one day is amazing) bravo 👏
Nice and humble too 👍🤠
Good to see the marmot go all the way with you too 👍
Best regards Simon
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
Well done and your luck was in with weather. I'm planning next year over a few days to hopefully capture a sunrise summit on my 60th.
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!
How did you get on with your climb? Happy 60th birthday 🏴
Sadly I had to postpone but working up a new plan.
this was a really detailed video. You made it look easy! just a quick question, how hard was the scramble between refuge rousse and gouter refuge? and what would you grade it as 1-3?
@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
Great video! I take it you have plenty of mountain experience to be able to complete this in one day?
@deanmurray7850 actually this was my first 4000m mountain! But I trained very hard and had a good level of fitness which was definitely necessary
Cracking video! I am doing the same trip myself next week, but online it says the mountain tram is not running this summer all the way to Le Nid d’Aigle, but guessing this wasn’t the case?
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!
Awesome Video!
Can you tell me where the police is standing so that i can get trough there at night?
I rly dont want to book nights at the mountain hotel lol
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?
do you trek from the bottom to top in b3 boots ?
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.
