Mont Blanc Traverse (Mont Blanc Massif)
Climbing Mont Blanc is always a pleasure. This time, Anna and I made a long traverse from Aiguille du Midi, to the 3 Monts, Dome du Gouter, Aiguille du Gouter followed by a 3,800 meters descent to Les Houches.

We resumed our trail running training but there are still lot of snow above 1600m, so we found a new short Trail around Les Houches
It is always a pleasure to climb Mont Blanc, and having the chance to be alone on the top with a perfect weather is quite amazing.
The Bodin Afanasieff gully is an obvious route well visible from Les Houches. The route follows a 600 meters gully in the Northwest rocky face of Mont Blanc du Tacul.
The Nid d’Aigle is the start of the Gouter route of Mont Blanc but it is also a great place for Trail running… 24km and +1,250m/-2,000m.
, Philippe left Les Houches (1,000m) at 4:30am, hoping to climb Mont Blanc non-stop and get back down to Les Houches in the evening.
