Your video is interesting and quite clear about the route (though personally I was never a fixed rope guy). Since you asked about other routes in that region, may I suggest the full Rochefort ridge traverse. Typically people only do the first part, but in fact there is quite an adventure for altitude fit mountaineers, extending the traverse over the Aiguille and Dome de Rochefort and beyond to the Calotte de Rochefort. Some mixed ice and rock accesses the Col des Grandes Jorasses. The descent from there down the Mount Mallet glacier to the Leschaux hut is absolutely fabulous (you pass under the north face routes of the Grandes Jorasses). For me, the most magical parts of this descent are the views of the Périades (see my photo). This would be quite a spot to film…
That brings me to another point. I was under the impression that the entire Mont Blanc Massif is a NO FLY zone for hobby drones. However, there is some confusion about this from an earlier restriction concerning zone LFR-30B which was forbidden only between July 1st and August 31st. Do you have any more recent information?

Actually, I couldn’t find anything when researching for the trip. But let me investigate again.
Thanks fir the tips! The Rochefort Ridge was also on the list but we didn’t have time |
