Trail Reviews
Departure from the Confins car park Start on the trail then take the small hiking trail on the right. First part on the dirt and gravel trails accessible to all. Second part up to the Trou de la mouche climbs well at the end, good physical capacity. Very beautiful view at the summit. Descent in the scree, be careful. Second part of the descent in the classic hiking trails. Return to the car park. Note: very touristy place, leave early in the morning or late in the evening.
Great trek. Quite sporty with a magnificent view of Mont Blanc 😉
Steep, constant hike. Very steep passage for the last 100m of vertical drop. Loop with an ascent via the Combe de Grand Crêt (steeper path) and descent via the Combe de Paccaly (longer but less steep). Can be done in both directions but for the descent in this direction you save the knees. Loop made on 12.09.21 in about 4h30.
