AUGUILLES CROCHUES TRAVERSE

The Crochues traverse offers a moderate day of easy rock climbing and scrambling. While the climb itself takes only a few hours, factoring in the approach, descent, and a stop for a coffee and cake, the overall outing spans about 6 to 7 hours. The rock presents a few steep moves, but the abundance of exposed yet more manageable terrain requires climbers to be adept at scrambling and comfortable with significant drops on either side.

This route is well-suited for beginners, serves as excellent training for longer climbs, and provides a delightful experience for those seeking superb views and a relaxed day at high altitudes.

Wonderful ridge traverse with lots of fun interesting rock moves, great views of the Mont Blanc range, and straightforward access. It is one of the classics of the area, very popular in summer!
