A major climb on an iconic Alpine peak

The ascent of the Meije by the refuge of the Promontory, followed by the crossing of its edges to the Finger of God, is the dream of many climbers and a consecration for many of them. La Meije is the last great summit of the Alps to have been climbed, after many attempts, on August 16, 1877 by Emmanuel Boileau de Castelnau, the guide of Vénéon Pierre Gaspard and his son. The entire crossing is a very varied and very aerial itinerary. It requires a sense of route, good management of the roping and protection of the rope, offers subtle and physical climbing passages, and a mixed evolution at nearly 4,000 meters above sea level on the edge line to the highlight, with reminders. We will fully enjoy this magnificent race when we are sufficiently experienced in climbing with big mountain shoes (level IV+) and crampy, acclimatised to the altitude and a day of good weather. For several seasons, the ideal period to run this great race is from mid-June to late July, but it is not an absolute rule. We carefully monitor the conditions of Reine Meije throughout the year, so do not hesitate to consult us if the route of its historical itinerary and its edges is in your line of sight... N.B: possibility to complete the crossing in two days with bivouac at the top of the Grand Pic (contact us).
