Integrale de Peuterey

#1

Hello everyone!
I am looking for information about the route Integrale de Peuterey in the Italian Alps. Schemes, description or anything of that kind will work perfect for me.

Thank you in advance! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Hey, thank you! I found that one but I cannot find something more in depth. You know, i need to know where I am really going :smiley:
But piece by piece I will build the puzzle :slight_smile:

There are two options described in the camptocamp guidebook:

  • IntĂ©grale de Peuterey using the E ridge of the Pointe Noire de Peuterey (alpine grade D)
  • IntĂ©grale de Peuterey (alpine grade TD)

You can read the description using the Google translation tools (if you set the interface to English, on the top of the page, the option of translating the text will appear automatically as you place the mouse above the text). Otherwise, we can assist with translation.

Good luck!

Hey, another question. I’ve never been at that side of the Alps before so I do not really know from where i should start. I must reach the town Courmayor and after that ?? Is there anything like library or sth there that might help me with the route?

The approaches start in the town of Peuterey. If you add your current location (latitude & longitude) to your user profil, you can get directions from that location to Peuterey using a special link in the page describing the Peuterey access.

For topos, your best bet is the library of the ENSA (guide school) in Chamonix. There is a brief description on this page with a link to the ENSA’s website. They have topos on most (all?) the routes in the Mont Blanc massif. Unfortunatly, descriptions might be in French or italian…

You don’t seem very confident: maybe you should take a guide for this route. It is a very challenging climb!

hey, thank you all. Me and my partner climbed it and we had a very good time we took the topos from ENSA and it was not so confusing anymore :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
