How to enjoy the 4000m peaks of the Mont Blanc Range
Nearly all the 4000m summits of the Mont Blanc Range require good climbing skills (AD and D), experience of moving on mixed ground, and stamina to climb. To attempt these peaks you need to have good experience of alpine climbing and summits above 4000m.
