Traverse West-East
Crossed all the summits, starting from the Conscrits refuge, and continued on to the Durier refuge. Classic ridge traverse with great views in a less crowded part of the range.

Traverse E-W
Airy ridge, fun climbing. We had very good conditions!
Beautiful climb in good conditions. So strange the Refuge des Conscrits was almost empty on a nice summer day...but very relaxing on the other hand as well. Descent over the Aiguille de la Bérangère. Long way back to Le Cugnon.

One of the best alpine Traverses!
Nice hut walk the previous day to Refuge Des Conscrits..Overnight and 4-00 am start ascending gradually up the glacier to Col des Domes. Moving together easilly over the domes stopping for many photographs, Snow and weather conditions perfect No Wind! After final dome we descended direct down the northerly glacier d'Armancette this saved us going over the aquille de Berangere and thus duplicating our walk in. Instead we had after leaving the glacier a glorious long valley walkout, a valley festooned with wild alpine flowers of every colour a truly great day 12 hour round trip. Grade PD.

Dome Oriental
Climbed from Conscrits, fun climb but ridge was quite icy since it was late in the season so required caution considering the significant exposure to the left of the ridge! Tiring on the ankles but a beautiful climb!

Dome de Miage
Very nice traverse with good weather! Slept outside and started around 6 from the top refuge. The roundtrip took about 9hours.
Wonderful but a bit tricky at times.

Route Climbed : from Refuge des Conscrits over Aig de la Bérangère
Route Climbed: Traverse, started with Aig de Berangère Date Climbed: july 14, 2005
Excellent weather and great conditions. Probably one of the finest traverses of the alps. Impressive views all around and downwards ;-). Great company too, thanks to "Bergpallieters".
Route Climbed: Standard (from Conscrits refuge) Date Climbed: July 4, 1998
It was a splendid acclimatization climb before attempting Mont Blanc. It rained on the previous day and there was fresh snow at the refuge; however, on the next morning the weather had cleared at the time that we started our long hike. The view from the summit ridge to the green pastures in the valleys (that were far below us) was unforgettable.
Didn't really get start due to a bad infection in my finger that i had been fighting with for a few days but really enjoyed the hike up (with clarity) and the climbing we did do in the area.
Route Climbed: traverse from berangere to durier Date Climbed: 1st september 2003
Part of the Royal traverse: from les contamines (1200m) - conscrits hut, aiguille de berangere, domes de miage (all 5), durier hut, Aiguille de bionnassay, dome du gouter, mt blanc, aiguille du midi.
