So it looks like the weather is not on my side for a Mont Blanc summit end of next week.

Can anyone recommend a website that shows weather charts for the Alps so I can look for some alternative destinations to Chamonix and the Mont Blanc massif?

Thanks!

Simon

Hello Simon,

It's a bit early to be changing plans! The 5 day forecasts are rarely accurate and at least the weekend and beginning of the week look great. I'd look at

Agreed, I'm off next week but have yet to make any real plans! Defo pays to be flexible...

I don't drive out until Tuesday, so my week starts on Wednesday really. I will make a final decision on Monday morning, hopefully I'll get a reasonable forecast then.

I was planning the Trois Monts route so if there's snow later in the week I guess avalanche risk will put a halt on that idea.

Fingers crossed!
