General:
The Gouter Ridge
Start from Les Houches and sleep at the Tete Rousse hut or the Gouter hut. Ascend to the summit in5 hours the next morning; then back to the valley.
The Traverse
Take the Midi lift and sleep at the Cosmiques hut. From there the summit takes 4-6hr.
This option is technically a little harder but perhaps safer.
Descend either by the Grand Mulet route or by reversing the ascent.

I love Mt. Blanc! The Aguille du Midi lift that crosses over the entire mountain range from Chamonix to Italy makes this mountain very easily reachable. If you want to train some of your mountaineering skills then you can get straight into the action this way without having to hike up all the way. We did everything here from snow shoeing in summer to practising our rope and ice skills in winter. Spectacular views for sure!
