Day 2

From the refuge you will go to Dôme du Gouter to get to the crossing of Petit Plateau whose main danger comes from seracfalls. After a progress between the cracks a steep ascent will enable to reach Grand Plateau. You will go to Col du Dôme (4,237 m) from where a steep and icy section leads to Vallot refuge (4,362 m). To climb the last ridge hikers rarely use their skis to the summit (a delicate and exposed terrain). From Vallot refuge 2 hours will be necessary to get to the summit of Mont-Blanc. The descent will be made via the same route as for the ascent until Grands Mulets then until Plan de l’Aiguille.
