Discover the itinerary and the guidelines of the trip !
You'll find here all the informations about the concrete routes we chose for this trip!
To each destination corresponds at least one principal alpine objective. We chose to go for these regions because we follow the summer seasons which are appropriate for alpinism. You'll find a detailed, but still non-exhaustive itinerary below. Still remember that an adventure can't be all foreplanned, and that we surely don't want it to be! Let's be open to opportunities...
​
For each destinations, we decided of a "main objectives". It's often a classical route that simply make us dream as we prepare the expedition. Some are quite ambitious, and we'll try to climb up there for sure, but still with a counsciously and responsibly approach. If the conditions are not there, we're not going, briefly said!
​
We'll be in touch with locals mountain guides and alpine clubs to select summits which matters for locals mountainers, whatever why. They'll tell us their personal stories about one summit, and we'll climb it, knowing what others experienced there at our place. We'll write for you the recitals of our ascents, telling you about the meaningful stories which are attached to it!
Let's experiment together the "participative mountaineering" !!
