Photography Tips
The weather at the summit can be very different from that in Chamonix. Be prepared for cold temperatures, strong winds, and snow, even in the summer. Wear warm layers and bring sunglasses.
The rapid ascent to nearly 4,000 meters can cause altitude sickness. Take it easy at the top, and if you feel unwell, descend to a lower altitude. The staff can also provide assistance.
