The end of June is usually harnessed to do some mountaineering trips in the Vanoise massif. Or so I've done in recent years that allowed me to make the ascent of most peaks in snow or mixed race: Polset Dome, Dome Chasseforêt, Pointe de la Gliere Grande Casse, Mont Pourri, Dent Parrachée, Pointe de l'Echelle, and more ... Also, my eyes turned this year to other horizons, even if I have spent a little over my cleats on the faces of Mont Pourri. The first night accommodation the refuge of Monal, small remote corner that is reached by walking about 1/2h starting from the parking lot and where we are not drowned in the crowd this time of year. The beginning of the next day was devoted to a pretty floral trail towards Lac du Clou before joining the City and Glacier begin the climb to the refuge Robert White in chilly weather (17 degrees) and rainy.

| Lanchettes Ridge and Dome Glacier |
The first objective, Dome Glacier is a bit difficult race located in the Mont Blanc. Along with Serge Charriere, the output was performed in a loop by borrowing from the refuge, the Ridge Lanchettes. The summit (3592 m) offers superb views of the mountains, especially the needle and the Bérangère Domes Miage nearby. Bright sunshine but temperatures uninviting that forces us not to hang out. The raid was conducted by what is the normal route of ascent, namely the Glacier Glacier. This year, the snowfall was heavy and late access to the refuge was snowy. Needless to say The same was true of the ridge, which made its crossing very enjoyable. In addition, the snow has come down to the lowest enjoying the many snowfields present in early summer.
