The Rochefort Crest

in the Rochefort traverse

 

Situated on the french Italian border, that crest is perhaps the most lovely of the Alps ...

It is around 4000 m high, and begins at the foot of the "Dent du Géant".

 

 

 

First day : Torino refuge easily reachable from the cables car at Chamonix (by the "aiguille du Midi" and the Helbronner traverse ) or at Courmayeur.

Second day: The route begins with an easy climb with some mixed pitches until the "Dent du Géant" foot.

Next is a very nice snow crest, very exposed until the "Dôme de Rochefort".

One must not forget the camera !

 

My price is 360.

The traverse of "Aiguilles d'Entrèves"

Entrève ridge with Rochefort in the background

 

This nice traverse starts also from Torino refuge and begins on the other side going to west. It is quite exposed and it offers a lots of view points at 3600 m.

We will have to climb easy pitches graded II (with a little bit of III).

 

My price for 1 or 2 persons is 360.

 

To plan the 2 routes in 2 days (D1 = Entrèves et D2 = Rochefort ) my price is 600.

The "Tour Ronde"

Tour Ronde : Normal route on the left

The route for this magnificent summit begins again from Torino refuge .

The SE ridge that starts from the Entrèves pass is often less dangerous than the Est face (normal route) with too much stones ...

We will have to negotiate some climbs (graded II) and a little slope around 45°, to finish at 3943 m.

 

My price for 1 or 2 persons is 360 €.

 

To plan 2 routes in 2 days (ex : Tour Ronde and Rochefort ) my price is 600.

Be aware that we may need an extra afternoon to go to the Torino refuge.
