Hiking

This epic trail leaves from Montenvers-Mer de Glace station. It forms a superb track which alternates between rolling earth single tracks and technical passages in the middle of the scree. Some sections are quite narrow and require extra attention to foot placement. Enjoy it, the segment is exceptional and the view absolutely magnificent.

Hiking

A detour that is definitely worth it! With a bit of luck, someone in a flight suit will pass by at insane speed, the jump from the Aguille Du Midi almost 2000 m higher.
