Departure from Bourg-Saint-Maurice (Savoie)
Hike starting from Les Arcs 2000. As this is a resort hike, there are unfortunately some man-made features, but I suggest the most unspoilt route possible. The first section follows a beautiful path (the ‘Sentier des Lacs’) to Lac des Moutons. Then there is a short but steep climb to Aiguille Grive (2,733m) and its magnificent view of Mont Blanc before heading back down.

Very difficult
Departure from Bourg-Saint-Maurice (Savoie)
A very beautiful and wild hike, of moderate difficulty up to the small pass near the 2704 mark. After that, the slope steepens on the eastern ridge. The descent down the northern ridge is very difficult and exposed in places, hence the difficulty rating. The view of Mont Blanc is exceptional. There are numerous griffon vultures and marmots to be seen.
