Weather In the Mont Blanc massif, the weather can change very brutally : the wind can suddenly blow very hardly and the snow can fall abundantly until low in the valley, even in full summer. That is why we do our best to anticipate the evolutions of weather reports and if it is necessary we adapt our programs the weather conditions.

Hygiene : In mountain, you will often see water, but be careful, it is not always drinking water! Ask your guide's advice before drinking, and keep with you pills to cleanse it. Altitude : Mountaineering courses usually take place at altitude lower than 4000m, that is why acclimatisation is not a big difficulty. Books / sheets / web : IGN sheets 1: ET St Gervais OT Chamonix
