This massive spire situated on the border between France and Italy with its unmistakeable allure is a technical and sought after objective on the list of many alpinists.

With perfect views of Arête de Peuterey on the Mont Blanc this route is a classic. We are offering this, longer, route in place of the ‘normal route’ to Tour Ronde due to reduced objective hazard and aestheticism of the line. Without being ‘out there’ climbing the SE ridge of Tour Ronde is still a serious and demanding day in the mountains and the perfect step-up from Aiguilles Marbrees traverse.

Mont Blanc by the “Normal Route”.
