↔14.84 km ↗+1,636 m ↘-1,639 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 Tour Mont Blanc in 11 stages

Association or club

⚑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! ⚠️ This route passes through nature reserves. Please respect the regulations in force. See practical information.

Walker
Les Lacs Noirs des Aiguilles Rouges
↔9.04 km ↗+638 m ↘-636 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.
