Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Midi Arête?

The Midi Arête (Arête des Cosmiques) is an exposed ridge at approximately 3,800 metres on the Aiguille du Midi in the Mont Blanc Massif, France. It is the starting point for routes on the Vallée Blanche and for ascents of Mont Blanc via the Three Monts Ridge, and is crossed by skiers and mountaineers throughout the winter and spring seasons.

What does this print show?

Is the Midi Arête safe for skiers?

The Midi Arête is a serious and exposed alpine terrain requiring crampons, ice axe, and competence in rope work. The narrow ridge drops steeply on both sides and cornices can be present after heavy snowfall. It is not suitable for beginners or those without alpine experience.
