How can you find your way among the hundreds of routes that have forged the reputation of the Mont-Blanc massif? In this book, two of the foremost specialists on the subject present the routes whose names come up time and again, year after year—those that truly deserve the label "classic."
The selection criteria are simple: beauty, elegance of the line, technical interest, on snow, ice, and mixed terrain, with the aim of appealing to the widest possible audience.
The descriptions are meticulously crafted, complemented by a presentation of the mountain huts with their GPS coordinates, illustrated with evocative photographs and highly detailed topos.
It is also an opportunity to take stock of the changes affecting the routes as a consequence of climate change.
