Access

Access to the Normal Route of Mont Blanc :

Customers are informed that, by a decision of the Prefecture of Haute-Savoie, you must produce proof of a booking in a refuge, and that police checks may be carried out along the entire route. A reservation voucher, with the customer's name, is generated at the end of the booking process. This voucher is sent by email to the customer. It is also present in the customer's account.
