Helbronner on the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix is a spectacular place - this plateau above Chamonix and Courmayeur features some of the fines alpinisme with stunning glaciers and superb alpine climbing routes. Watch this alpine climbing vlog episode to find out what you can climb around the Helbronner area.
You can take the lift from Courmayeur to Punta Helbronner to access the area. or hike across Vallee Blanche from Aiguille du Midi.
The most significant alpine climbing routes near Helbronner must be the colossal Dent du Géant (Dente del Gigante). I made a seperate vlog about this must-climb that you will find in the link below.

Besides the Dent du Géant (Dente del Gigante), the Helbronner area, also offers excellent alpine climbing and alpinisme on Aiguilles Marbrées with a spectacular traverse, as well as several easy and intermediate alpine climbing routes on Tour Ronde with its North face, the Rébuffat Gully and the Gervasutti Couloir being the most prominent routes. You will also find the Aiguille d'Entréves with its fantastic ridge traverse. If you are looking for harder alpinisme you can undertake the magnificent Kuffner Ridge - a multi-day alpine climbing route. Beyond Dent du Géant (Dente del Gigante) to the east you will find the Rochefort Ridge and the Grand Jorasses area - an area that is definitely on my personal tick list!
If you are looking for hard alpine rock climbing you can cross the Glacier du Géant to Mont Blanc du Tacul, where you will find the massive Grand Capucin. Here you can find the Swiss route and the Bonatti-Ghigo - to classical, hard alpine rock climbing routes. If you are looking for something less serious, you should check out the Le Lifting du Roi on the Petit Capucin or the East Ridge on the Pyramide du Tacul.
You base for alpinisme in the Helbronner area will be the Rifugio Torino Hut next to Punta Helbronner. This is a large, decent hut that offers whatever you need. The Rifugio Torino Hut offers shelter, food, a bar and a dry room. You cannot camp next to the hut as there are no bivy places. If you want to camp you have to camp on the Glacier du Géant.
