My parents climbed the Mont Blanc in the seventies. My father is long gone and my mom is 82 years old, but it's still 'their' mountain. And we still have fantastic pictures.
Saint Gervais, en Haute Savoie, est la commune la plus haute de France et d'Europe occidentale car le Mont Blanc est rattaché au territoire saint-gervolais.
@peter3f Then i will like to give you an advice to take the the route from "Aguille de Midi", the other one is very dangerous in the warm summer conditions. :)
The Gouter hut makes people underestimate the Mont Blanc - and that is partly the reason why so many people get killed every year. However, I must admit that after I reached the top, it was nice to eat a pasta carbonara before descending to base camp... but it was a kind of weird with a hut up that high.
This video is so inspirational. Just starting mountaineering with an alpine course next summer. One day i hope to stand on top of Mont Blanc like yourself. The power of this video sends shivers down my spine
It's a masterpiece, this vid. Not to discribe. I already watched it 10 times today. I think the mountains are most beautifull place at earth. That's were earth is still earth. I also want to do this mountain once in my life.
Great vid guys - really inspiring - hoping to do Mont Blanc in July 2009 (weather permitting!!) via the Gouter Route... keep up the good work. Only discovered mountaineering 2 years ago & its amazing, the mountains are a special place hard to describe to a person if its not in their blood..!!
Great video. The music is very apt too.. The mountains are a very special place. I have to say i've been lucky enough to experience some amazing things through mountaineering. Including this route on Mont Blanc.
"Wunderkind" written by Alanis Morissette and Harry Gregson-Williams. From The Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack. Lots of links to this song on youtube. And I agree; it works great here for this very cool Mont Blanc video!
In 2005 Itried this route but we almost died because of a rock falling under the Rifugio Gonella. In 2006 July we were successfully but on the French normal route. That was much easier. :-)
Just for the record - the one shown in the video is NOT the "easiest" route to Mt. Blanc - it's the Italian normal route (or Gonella route), the easiest from the Italian side, but definitely more comitting and difficult than any on the French side.
Stunning! I skied it today. The snow was awesome, the views were incredible and I wish everyone could experience it. Fantastic video, I still have goose bumps from the choice of songs too. Gratzi!
good video! I'm a german boy (14) living in the alps and I'm on the way to be on the top of it. I already made a lot of 4000meter heigh mountains in France and Switzerland. Amicalement, Philipp
God sake, stop fighting! This venture of mountaineering is the most beautiful sport going, were also renound the world over for being nice people! give it a rest, and share some classic moments on a mountain, remember thats why they are there!
Okay, well than I was wrong:)It's just that your comment is almost the same as one of my comments on one of the Mont Blanc video. Thought you were one of those YouTube losers that likes to anoy people. But I was wrong. Good luck this summer:)I'll be doing it in 2 years time. 15 years is quite young however:S
Soz to get so mad but i had that kinda replies more, so i get kinda mad when i get those, thanks for the subscription, this summer you will see my vid over my attempt, i will tell you when i fail too but thats not likely because i am climbing for ten years now.
Yeah, but how serious did you climb when you were 5?:)4 familymembers of me climbed it. All very experienced climbers. however the 5th failed. He's been climbing now for what, 30 years? It's not only your experience that's gonna do it!It mental and physical. At 4500 metres he all of a sudden got all and had to go back. And he really is a superb climber. Good luck and let me know how you did!

Thanks mate! thats what i thought!Got to go there! cant stop thinking about mont blanc! every night i go to sleap ill imagine myself on the sumit of mont blanc....
when i watched the white color of the snow, i felt the power of alps!!i love skiing so much but i never do like in this video.great movie and big passion... max italy
A day I came back from a climb, it was late and me tired.
The day after someone, proudly, asked me why. Well: have been where you'll never go, and I like it, to catch the first ray of a whole day and even the very last and right in the moment you have to turn on the light I'm still in the Sun.
Thank you for your video Ricardo, that's the magic of mountains: a place created to make days longer.

Is there still respect for the mountain left on Mt Blanc? I think they should remove the gouter hut, way to touristic in my opinion...
