Switzerland - La Luette climb - acclimatization prior Mont Blanc climb

Switzerland - La Luette climb.

Climbing for 3 days with friends in Switzerland. We've started our journey from Arolla locality not far away from Evolène. Reaching the Dix refuge (Cabane des Dix) on the first day and with ascend to La Luette peak on the second day. This was our acclimatization procedure before climbing the Mont Blanc mountain.

Dix hut: 2928 m
The Cabane des Dix is ​​a hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) of the Monte Rosa section and is located above the Lac des Dix reservoir on the Cheilon glacier at an altitude of 2928 m above sea level. It is used for climbing various mountains in the area, such as the Mont Blanc de Cheilon (3870 m) and the Pigne d'Arolla (3796 m). The hut is located on the Haute Route.

La Luette peak: 3547 m
La Luette is located NW of Mont Blanc de Cheilon. The two peaks are separated by the Col de Cheilon. This mountain is very characteristic with its three long ridges. The N side is covered by the En Darrey Glacier and the E side by the Luette Glacier. This alpine summit is ideally located in relation to the Dix hut. La Luette is often climbed in place of a higher peak when the weather is uncertain. This mountain is also interesting to climb in combination with a traverse of Pleureur and up to La Sâle.
