Tré-le-Champ to Lac Blanc - Tour Mont Blanc

Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

This 10th stage of the Tour Mont Blanc (TMB) normally runs along the high ground above the L'Arve valley to La Flègere but here's the description of the variant to Lac Blanc. A shorter stage but full of excitement and challenges. Let's do it!

Lac Blanc via Lacs de Chéserys from Col des Montets

Refuge Albert 1er - Glacier du Tour

Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

Located above the Tour glacier, on its right bank, it is the only refuge managed by the Chamonix CAF that can be reached without crossing a glacier in summer.

It was named after Albert 1st, King of the Belgians. Considered the only high-mountain refuge accessible to families.
