Alpine bouldering on sharp Granite in an amazing setting. A huge boulder field stretched out above the Chamonix valley under the Aiguilee du Midi and several of the other Aiguille's, mostly used by hikers and mountaineers. People must have bouldered here in the past, in the Summer months, however not much information is available. A massive availability for fun exploration and first ascents.
Take the Aiguille du Midi lift to the mid station. The first boulders are right outside, however some of the boulders can be over an hours hike away. In the winter this area is completely snowed over and bouldering would be pretty impossible.
