Find out about the general and local weather forecast, and make sure there's no precipitation. Find out about the approach, route height, route time, possible escape route (IGN map, GPS, topo-guide, etc.).
Evaluate possible risks by asking mountain professionals, refuges and gîtes.
Inform someone close to you of your objective, and contact them again in the event of any changes: departure and return times, number of participants with telephone numbers for each, vehicle(s), parking, etc.
