Two of us intend to climb Mont Blanc this summer. One more experienced, What is the very easiest route and how do we access guides, places to stay etc? I fuond your help for Galhopiggen saved a lot of grief!

A question to the SP alpine experts:

When is a good time of year to visit the Mont Blanc range to do snow, ice and mixed routes?

François Damilano’s latest Mont Blanc <i>snow, ice and mixed</i> guide book is quite inspirational and I’m thinking of basing myself in the Argentière and/or Talèfre basins for a week or two later this year to give of some of the many routes there a try.

January 22nd, 2006. I have put up a new page <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/6373">DINARIC ALPS</a>, covering this mountain chain.

Gabriele has set up a page about <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/6361">Pennine Alps</A> - a big amount of work! But some items there should be discussed:

2) the subgroups: I think there are too much too little subgroups. We already have the eight Summit ...

Yet another crazy highland mega-windfarm proposal in the pipeline. This one would spoil the views from Beinn Dearg, Fannichs, Wyvis. The non-industrialised landscape is being eaten away piece by piece; if we don't object to each and every inappropriate development proposal in turn then this simply will not stop. We need to say strong stuff to the relevant people, over and over again. And, in the longer term, seek to tighten up the planning laws ...

Some friends and I are going to ski in the Alps this spring and I was curious as to what a bed costs in the Swiss huts? I know that food and alcohol is a separate item but what is the cost per night for a bed?

Thanks!
