Day 2:

From the hut, climb the NW moraine on the left, leading to a large snow slope.

This leads on to a steeper section to reach the B?ɬ©rang?ɬ®re glacier.

Climb the glacier and then the easy rocks to the summit.

Descent

Same route in reverse.

Enfin des bonnes conditions prévues et une météo au beau ! cool

Nous devions monter au dôme de Polset mais au dernier moment nous avons appelé le refuge des conscrits où le sympathique gardien pouvait nous accueillir, c’est donc parti pour les Dômes de Miage.

Départ de Chambéry, camp de base au camping du lac Carouge, pour le Cugnon juste à côté des Contamines en Haute Savoie, 1h30 de route.
