After 'Everest, from 2019 will need a "permission" also to be able to climb the Mont Blanc, along the normal French route of the Gouter, the busiest. A maximum of 214 mountaineers per day will be provided, equal to the beds in the Gouter refuge, where the reservation will continue to be compulsory.

There will also be agents authorized to issue contraventions to offenders. This is what was decided last Monday, September 3, at the end of a meeting between the mayor of Saint-Gervais (France), Jean Marc Peillex, who has always been on the front line asking for a regulation of access to the 'roof of 'Europa' ', the prefect of the Haute-Savoie and other interested bodies, from the gendarmerie to the alpine guides to the French alpine club. "A document, a form of permission, will be distributed to the mountaineers: it is a historic day for this mountain", said Peillex on the radio France bleu. At the Dauphiné Liberé, the prefect Pierre Lambert made it clear that the legal contours of these measures must be seriously analyzed.
Hervé Barmasse, writer and TV face, comments "Prohibiting access to the mountains means taking away freedom." The mayor of Saint-Gervais celebrates, "a historic day", but it is the saddest in the history of mountaineering.
Omar Oprandi, alpine guide and ski mountaineer comments on Facebook "The mountain, the higher it is, the more it already selects in a natural way, regulating it in this way, and taking away the freedom to climb, means giving the possibility to tempt it only to" Tour Operators " no longer, to those who need to understand that being "sawn" from the mountain itself means understanding its value to the fullest, and if the top of Mont Blanc is the first to be "automated" ... we think to a future where other peaks (more or less important as Matterhorn, Mont Viso, Monte Rosa, etc.) will do the same end.It would be a problem.Narrow the freedom to get lost and to fail.

Argentera
Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
