Detailed program for the Multipitch training around refuge des Prés.
The day before
Appointment at 6.30 pm at the guides' office in Saint-Gervais for a briefing
Day 1
Col de la Fenêtre
Starting from the top of the Signal cable car we go towards the Col de la Fenêtre (2245m) across the ridge towards Tête de la Cicle (2552m). The start is an easy grassy and rocky ridge, and then some steeper sections and a crossing lead to the top. After a picnic break, a fairly steep path takes us to the Col de la Cicle and the end of the more difficult passages. We spend the night in the very comfortable refuge of Les Prés which is just a little down the hill.
Day 2
Eperon de la Cicle
We leave the mountain hut via the same path as the day before, to reach the start of the Eperon de la Cicle. A beautiful climb of about ten short lengths in 4b-4c. The descent is done via the same way and just like the day before we go past the mountain hut to cross under the Aiguille de Roselette, and go down again by the cable car. A beautiful climb of about ten short lengths in 4b-4c.
Register either directly online, or by returning the completed 2025 registration form to us by email, dated and signed.
