Dômes de Miage - Faces Nord

Among the easiest and finest routes in all of the Mont-Blanc range, the traverse of Dômes de Miage offers an unparalleled trip along a narrow snow ridge at altitude. It is also the first stage of one of the most esthetic ways to reach the summit of Mont Blanc. Also featured are some classics of mountain skiing (glacier d'Armancette) and steep skiing (arête Mettrier).
