I need your SP assistances.
Would you recommend August or Sept to do the standard routes on the Matterhorn and/or Mt Blanc?
What are the pros and cons?
I’m looking at ~2-week vacation and trying to plan the details.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
RickG

ps, sorry if this has been previously discussed, but I couldn’t find anything after a quick search

No advice on the climbing but you might considering making the thread title a little clearer to attract answers / not attract people who won't know. Good luck.

We went in early September last year and were able to climb both. This time of the year seemed to work well. Overall, the weather worked out for us. We didn't go in August b/c we had read that's when most of the Euros travel.

Thanks Koy, I had heard hut reservations in August can get tricky with so many Euros on vacation
