Climb Mont Blanc via the Pope's Way with PirineoSur: A wild and unique route in the Alps
Looking for a high-mountain experience that combines challenge, technique, and breathtaking landscapes? At PirineoSur, we invite you to climb Mont Blanc (4,809 m) via the Pope's Way, one of the wildest and least traveled routes to the highest peak of the Alps. This option is ideal for experienced mountaineers seeking an authentic and different experience, away from conventional routes.
What makes the Pope's Way special?
The Pope's Way (or Voie du Pape), named in honor of Pope Pius XI, a mountain lover, is a less crowded and more technical route than the classic Gouter or Grands Mulets routes. Starting from the Italian side of Mont Blanc, this ascent combines varied terrains, including glaciers, rocky ridges, and endless snowfields, offering a complete alpine experience.
Among its most notable features are:
• Pristine landscapes: Travel through less frequented areas, with spectacular views of the Italian and French Alps.
• Variety of terrains: From technical rock passages to impressive glaciers, this route demands both technical skills and physical prowess.
• Alpine authenticity: Enjoy the tranquility of a wild route, far from crowds.
