The Monte Bianco (in Italian) or the Mont Blanc (in French), with 4,810m altitude, is the highest mountain in the Alps. In summer it is a very busy mountain, mainly for being the highest alpine peak but also because it is a stunning peak. But do not get confused because of the high number of mountaineers that come here to try to leave their tracks on its summit: this is not an easy climb, neither physically, nor technically.
There are several “normal” routes to climb the Mont Blanc: two of them start from the French side (the Goûter route and the “Trois Monts route”) and another one from the Italian side. In June 2021 we climb the Italian route to the Monte Bianco.
Our route to the Monte Bianco is organized in three days: the first day we climb form the bottom of the Val Veny (1,526m) to the Gonella Refuge (3,071m), where we spend the night. The second day we climb 1,700 metres to reach the summit of Monte Bianco. And from there, we go back to the Gonella Refuge. And the third day we return to the Val Veny.
The Italian route is the wildest, the most remote and the least busy of the normal routes to the Monte Bianco. This is also the longest route because in the Italian side there are not lifts that helps you climb the huge difference in altitude from the Val Veny to the summit of Mont Blanc. Apart from being a strenuous 3,300 meters climb (and descend), this route has some technical difficulties, and this is the reason why its grade is PD+.
