Other walks in the area

Walking La Jonction via Montagne de la Côte

Walker
↔14.84 km ↗+1,710 m ↘-1,702 m ◔10 hrs ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

The Montagne de la Côte is a steep ridge separating the final tongues of the Bossons and Taconnaz Glaciers tumbling down from Mont Blanc and Le Goûter.
Historically, the route taken by Balmat and Paccard on their first ascent of Mont Blanc, this climb starts out pleasantly winding through the forest, then onto grassy slopes, and finally into a more mineral setting, ending in a very high-mountain glacial atmosphere.

Walking Lac Cornu (lake) from the Planpraz cable car

Walker
↔7.51 km ↗+847 m ↘-446 m ◔4h 35 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

Beautiful walk facing the Mont Blanc massif, with a permanent view of the massif and glaciers.

Walking The Aiguilles Rouges Black Lakes (Les Lacs Noirs des Aiguilles Rouges)

Walker
↔9.04 km ↗+650 m ↘-646 m ◔4h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

Hiking on the Aiguilles Rouges massif through a wild landscape, discovering magnificent mountain lakes.
You'll pass the Col du Lac Cornu, overlooking the eponymous lake, before arriving at the Lacs Noirs, where the mountain fauna is particularly present.
Despite some technical sections, I strongly recommend descending to the second lake, where few people venture. You'll be able to spot a few mountain animals - chamois, ibex, marmots - and, weather permitting, take a dip in a mountain lake with an exceptional panorama of Mont Blanc.

Walking From Plan de l'Aiguille to Montenvers station

Walker
↔6.14 km ↗+219 m ↘-608 m ◔2h 25 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

A beautiful hike downhill from the restaurant near the Plan de l'Aiguille cable car to the Montenvers station and back to Chamonix station by train.

Walking Les Houches to Les Contamines - Tour Mont Blanc

Association or club
↔19.20 km ↗+987 m ↘-810 m ◔8h 20 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Les Houches (Haute-Savoie)

This 1st stage of the Tour Mont Blanc (TMB) is possibly the toughest but the adrenaline is pumping and short-cuts are not on the agenda. Let's do it!
The TMB is a classic long-distance footpath that goes around Mont Blanc, passing from France into Italy and through Switzerland before returning to France.

Walking Tour Mont Blanc in 11 stages

Association or club
↔164.02 km ↗+10,762 m ↘-10,660 m ◔11 days ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Les Houches (Haute-Savoie)

The Tour Mont Blanc (TMB) is a classic long-distance footpath that goes around Mont Blanc, passing from France into Italy and through Switzerland before returning to France. These 11 stages are one way of doing it but you can make your own version of the TMB. The classic route begins and ends in Les Houches and takes an anticlockwise direction around Mont Blanc and the adjacent peaks. There is a total of 164 km (102 miles) walking these 11 routes and a positive height gain of over 10,000m. Certainly a challenging adventure but well worth the effort. Let's do it!

Walking The Tines loop via Argentière

Walker
↔10.99 km ↗+325 m ↘-316 m ◔4h 05 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

3rd° loop of the Arve descent, from Les Tines, up through Le Lavancher and Petit Balcon Nord, superb scenery and a very pleasant forest crossing, and a descent as close as possible to the river.

Walking Grand Balcon Nord - Montenvers to Plan de l'Aiguille and to Les Houches

Association or club
↔18.49 km ↗+730 m ↘-1,533 m ◔7h 20 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (Haute-Savoie)

A high-level and stimulating walk along the Grand Balcon Nord overlooking the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley. The route starts from the Montenvers train station (the Little Red Train) and passes the Refuge du Montenvers (worth an overnight stop). The Grand Balcon Nord terminates at Plan de l'Aiguille but the route drops down to Les Houche on the river L'Arve to reach the Chalet Les Méandres (ex Tupilak).
