Meeting at the train station in Argentière, in Chamonix valley, at 10:30 am. We take the Grands-Montets cable car. From this overlook, we can admire the whole Mont-Blanc range and it seems like we can almost touch the Aiguille Verte and the Drus... We warm up by sliding down to the large Argentière glacier before a short uphill to the hut. The guide will present the program, equipment and techniques for everyone's security. Diner and night in the hut.
