Mont Blanc Gouter Route 22/07/2023 Saint Gervais to Summit in 1 Day
Hike to the summit of Mont Blanc 22/07/2023 via the Gouter route.
Day 1: leave Saint Gervais at 7am on the Mont Blanc tram up to Nid Aguille. Hike out past the Tete Rousse hut and climb to the Gouter hut for about 1pm. Then climb to Mont Blanc summit for around 4:45pm and descend back to the Gouter hut for about 6:45pm to spend the night.
Day 2: leave the Gouter hut at 7:30am and descend to Tete Rousse. Then Hike back to the tram and back to Saint Gervais for around 11:30am.
CORRECTIONS:
- I occasionally get the Gouter and Tete Rousse huts confused in my commentary. Sorry about this!
- Most importantly....... Rafal did make the summit! We got separated in the last hour of ascent, but he was about 15 minutes behind me and made the summit as I was starting my descent.

Haha! So glad you noticed the marmot! I took it up the mountain for my 5 year old son and gave it to him when I got back
You made it look soo easy

Well done and your luck was in with weather. I'm planning next year over a few days to hopefully capture a sunrise summit on my 60th.

Enjoy! I would definitely recommend making the ascent over a couple of days with a night in one of the huts to acclimatise. Going to the summit in 1 day was very hard work!
Cracking video! I am doing the same trip myself next week, but online it says the mountain tram is not running this summer all the way to Le Nid d’Aigle, but guessing this wasn’t the case?

Hi there, there are currently a limited number of trams each day that go all the way to Nid d'Aigle, and they are only available to people with reservations at the mountain huts. If you go to the first 2 stops at Saint Gervais there are ticket offices where you can enquire and get the ticket you need to Nid d'Aigle. Good luck for your trip!
do you trek from the bottom to top in b3 boots ?

Hi there, I used B2 boots for the whole trip and my feet were warm enough on the summit. I did bring some walking shoes but I didn't really use them and just put them in my bag.
Awesome Video! Can you tell me where the police is standing so that i can get trough there at night? I rly dont want to book nights at the mountain hotel lol

They were stood just by the Nid d'Aigle tram stop. If you're using the tram it would be quite hard to avoid them, but they wouldn't be there at night.

I didn't realise there would be police up there. I'm trying to get documented before my trip. What's the point of the police? Not to allow anyone without reservation to go up or what?
