Excellent video! There's a lot of snow up there & it looked steep & intimidating for a 'normal' route. I'm off to the Saastal in 6 weeks, fingers crossed for good conditions.
Hello everyone I congratulate you on this wonderful, big, classic mountain tour. Thank you for the wonderful film. It brings back many unforgettable memories from my home in Valais. I wish you good mountain tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
Yeah things have unfortunately changed a lot since the 1980s. Mer de Glace (and all the other glaciers) are visibly receding every year. Steps and ladders are added each year in order to reach the floor of Mer de Glace when coming from the Montenvers train. It must have been amazing back in the day!
