We present a viscosity approach to the min-max construction of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary dimension. The existence is proved in the case of surfaces, and reduced to a topological condition in general. We also construct counter-examples in dimension 1 and 2 to the ε-regularity in the convergence procedure. Furthermore, we prove the lower semi-continuity of the index of our sequence of critical points converging towards a closed non-trivial geodesic.
