This route does not present any particular difficulties, except for a significant elevation gain (over 1,100 metres), which classifies it as difficult.
It reaches the summit of Mont Vorassay after the Col de Tricot and passes close to the Bionnassay glacier. There are magnificent views of the refuge and the Aiguille du Goûter as well as the Aiguille de Bionnassay. The descent is very pleasant and passes through a beautiful forest.

Departure from Les Houches (Haute-Savoie)
Access to a high-mountain refuge, just as you’d imagine it: nestled against the mountain in a rocky setting, with very few hikers, except between the top of the cable car and the Col de Tricot.

Difficult
Departure from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains (Haute-Savoie)
Completed from 27 June to 4 July 2011, with 4 hikers, 2 tents, in almost complete autonomy (food provided for 7 days, only bread and a few items were purchased along the route).
The cable car and bus were used to shorten some stages and we needed about a day more to complete the Brévent balcony opposite the Mont Blanc massif.
The return to the starting point will be by public transport, bus or train...
