Mont Blanc is not only interesting for its summit that gives its name to the entire massif but also for the countless number of spires (Aiguille) called “Satellites” with incredible rock. Here hundreds of climbing routes are hidden, from the great classics and Trad routes (with only bolted belays) to modern recently bolted routes. The Mont Blanc satellites are a true paradise for all climbers who love granite climbing; the experience is enriched by the fact that you are in high mountains where the approach to the routes is always on large glaciers and the landscape resembles that of a postcard. Grand Capucin, Chandelle, Pic Adolphe Rey and Aiguilles de Envers are just some of the marvelous granite structures that can be climbed in the massif; for a day or for several days, using the various refuges located in different strategic points, we offer you an unforgettable adventure, climbing along cracks, perfect dihedrals and on impressive slabs where the term “exposed” reigns supreme. All you have to do is tell us how many days you want to spend in this magnificent playground.
