Departure from Apremont (Savoie) (Savoie)
A very beautiful hike, not very long but with a steep section.
Magnificent view of Mont Blanc just before the summit and of the entire Chartreuse range from the summit.
The route is very well signposted throughout.
Ascent time indicated on the signs: 1 hour 35 minutes (it took us a little longer as we had a 2½-year-old girl who walked part of the way)
Time for the descent: 1 hour 10 minutes.
