Departure from Passy (Haute-Savoie) (Haute-Savoie)
Starting from Praz Coutant (Plateau d’Assy), I suggest a lovely route to reach the Tête de Colonney via the magnificent Désert de Platé. This route is challenging, and part of it takes place in a rather rocky environment, particularly through chaotic sections of sharp limestone pavement.
Please note: there are difficulties on a few tricky sections, where caution is required. See the route description and the ‘Practical Information’ section.

The five-day Tour des Aiguilles Rouges is one of the most beautiful hikes in the Mont Blanc region: breathtaking panoramic views, extremely varied landscapes, and a wild and unspoilt environment.
This tour is located in the heart of three nature reserves: the Aiguilles Rouges, Passy and Vallon de Bérard nature reserves. A panoramic route of great beauty between glaciers, lakes, moraines, forests, flora and wildlife.
