The peaks, ridges and walls of the Mont Blanc massif are an impressive and busy alpine playground. Access via two gondolas makes reaching 3000 and 4000m peaks into short daytrips, and the beautiful Refugio Torino makes a perfect basecamp. This comes with a lot of pros and cons and was a fresh contrast from mountaineering in Norway.
