Lac Blanc Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's hard to do better than at the Lac Blanc mountain hut! The spot is absolutely beautiful. Add to that regional dishes and a welcoming staff. It is possible to eat at the refuge during the day and to spend the night there with half board.

To help with the descent/ascent, there are a pair of very firm and easy-to-step metal stairs.

Tête aux Vents

Highlight • Summit

Beautiful running trails, smooth, not too technical and with one of the best views of the Chamonix valley and Mont Blanc. La Tête aux Vents is part of the TMB / UTMB. From here the finish line is almost in sight and it's almost all downhill until the end.

Highlight • Climb

The aiguillette d'Argentière amazes with its rather unique look. It is a fairly famous climbing spot.
