Meije Orientale (3,891 m) or Doigt de Dieu, 3,973 m – Massif des Ecrins – Pays de la Meije

If mountaineering appeals to you, there is still a good chance that this mini-expedition will shake up your habits and that you will decide to continue climbing the peaks of the Écrins, with the Grand Pic de la Meije in your sights. Climbing L’Aigle is almost a race in itself, or the promise of wonderful hours climbing 1,800 metres to this unique refuge, nestled at the summit of the Homme and Tabuchet glaciers.

• Meije Orientale: The next day, via elegant and varied snowy sections – glacial terrain, steeper slopes and sharp ridges – you will climb the Meije Orientale, the last peak to the east of the ridge line leading from the Grand Pic de la Meije. The view from this summit over the ridges of the Meije and the most beautiful peaks of the Écrins is exceptional. Let’s be honest: we’ve rarely seen a better introduction to mountaineering, and all that’s left for us to do is wish you a good climb! Ultimately, the guide is the sole judge of the programme, which he may modify for safety reasons.

Please note that if the conditions on the glacier deteriorate during the summer, the guides will only take 2 clients instead of 3.

• Doigt de Dieu: the myth within reach of most climbers! This is the central peak of La Meije, in the heart of the sanctuary! After an approach across snow and glacier terrain to its foot, a fairly technical rock climb awaits you, but only over 5 pitches of ice, snow and rock. The comfortable descent is achieved using well-equipped abseils
