The June issue of Trek & Mountain is out now, with a focus on all things alpine – and in particular Mont Blanc.
We’ve teamed up with renowned French mountain guide and author Francois Damilano, to bring you a guide to five of the classic routes on Mont Blanc – the Gouter, Three Monts, Grands Mulets, Pope (Italian Normal route) and the Miage-Bionnassay traverse, complete with stunning aerial photos of each route showing you the exact lines you take to the top (see pic below).
Continuing the alpine theme, our Tested section focuses on the essential gear you need to do classic alpine mountaineering, with Group Tests of lightweight mountaineering boots, alpine backpacks and ice-axes.
It’s not all about the Alps though! Elsewhere in the issue we have a reader report by Rebecca Moon who completed the tough but sensational Lunana Snowman trek in Bhutan, we have Hamish Brown’s accounts of trekking around and on Morocco’s Ighil Mgoun, the only 4000m peak outside the Toubkal massif. And for those wanting to get out an train for their upcoming trips overseas, we kick off a new series on scrambling techniques by Alun Richardson.
