40 Summits Challenge

Nadelhorn 4327m,

40/40
What a finish for the final summit of our challenge! We chose to climb the Nadelhorn for the last summit, above the Mischabel hut. It is an incredible summit of the Alps. We had a huge pleasure to ascent that mountain.
After two years of planning, training and climbs we have reached the end.
It was a wonderful adventure with girlfriends. Thank you all for your support, encouragement and presence! 🙏

Day 4
Still keeping up towards our final summit after climbing 2 summits prior to the last one of the day.
What better celebration than an artistic move by our top performers and who stood on their heads, apparently not lacking any oxygen at all ! 😂🙏🏼💪🏼
How do you guys celebrate reaching the summit ? Post your celebration in the comments or DM us directly. We’re eager to see your enthusiasm 😉
After reaching the summit, we headed to our last refuge of the journey: where we were warmly welcomed in the traditional dear Italian hospitality 🙏🏼 Antipasti, dinner, desert, you name it ! We were most than grateful for all the warm welcomes we got during our journey in the surroundings 😍

Day 3
After spending the night at the Quintino Sella refuge, we left early in the morning.
It was the most beautiful day in terms of weather. The sun was finally shining. We crossed the glacier to the summit of Naso which is at 4272m altitude. The climb was difficult on the ice. This summit doesn’t count as un the official list of summits of more than 4000m. In the effort, il has mattered to us. The Naso gave us a magnificient and splendid view of the future peaks of the day.
A moment later, we joined the Ludwigshöhe summit, at 4343m.

Embarking on an adventure of four days over 3400m, we meet at the train station of Sion to begin our spaghetti tour. Our destination was the iconic Zermatt, where a exciting experience awaited us.

From the train station of Zermatt, we took the cable car to get closer to the glacier.

Once we reached the lift's upper station, we embarked on an easy and pleasant walk towards the summit. The path was well-marked, and the surroundings were simply beautiful. The gentle climb allowed us to acclimate ourselves to the high altitude gradually, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

This week-end, Céline, Mélanie and I accomplished our first summit above 4000meters together 🤗
This expedition served as a fantastic opportunity for us to acclimate ourselves to high altitude trekking.

We celebrate our achivement, capturing the moment with photographs. The descent was fun, we took advantage of the snowy slopes and opted for a faster descent by sliding down on our backsides. (Airbag)

We grow stronger, physically and mentally ready to take new challenges and conquer even greater heights. 💪

Cabane des Dix 2928m depuis Arolla par le pas de Chèvres 🐐

We went on a beautiful ski touring trip in the mountains, starting from Arolla. We passed through the Pas de Chèvres and descended via the ladders towards the Cabane des Dix. Once there, we enjoyed some warm drinks. The scenery was breathtaking, with the snow-covered peaks stretching out before us and the crisp mountain air invigorating our spirits. Skiing down the slopes was not so bad despite the little snow, and we felt free and alive. It was a memorable trip.

Mont Gelé, 3022m, 30th summit of the
30/40
✅THE 30x 3 000m CHALLENGE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED✅
What a day we spent on December 30, 2022! Honestly, we’d hoped for a “wilder”, more beautiful summit to end the first part of our challenge. But sometimes, things turn out differently and as you probably know, winter conditions have been really bad so far this season… not enough snow, too many rocks, and still some avalanche dangers depending on your path.
As we decided to opt for the Mont Gelé last minute, we saw that weather was going to shift at midday. And that’s precisely what happened, quicker than expected: stormy wind, poor visibility and heavy snow began as we were only 50m away from the summit.
One of Laetitia’s ski bindings broke, forcing her to descend on one ski !!! And at the same time, Melanie got really sick, experiencing intense dizziness and exhaustion… frankly, we’re we’re feeling bad and knew the descent would still be long. We therefore decided to stop there and get down as quickly as possible in order to remain as safe as possible.
Quite an experience in this last 3 000m peak, but we absolutely don’t regret turning back!
We’ll soon be posting about what’s coming next! So many exciting plans for 2023, starting with the 10x 4 000m summits awaiting us 😍 stay tuned ! Best wishes for 2023 y’all 🙏🏼💛

Mont-Fort, 3306m, 29th summit of the
29/40
This day was messy and we did a lot of thinking about where we wanted to go. The lack of snow made the choice very little. To little snow to ski and to much for hiking.
We went to Verbier and made it to the Mont-fort by ski touring. Next to the slope staight to the summit. The view was fantastic and if you are too lazy to do ski touring you can take the lift 😊
