Technical difficulty: This is a high alpine tour with scrambling upto grade II on icy conditions. In order to join this event, you have to make sure that you have done glacier course and at least 3 hochtours with glacier traversal. The glacier on the Italian side of Mont Blanc is technically difficult.
