stage 5 of the TMB: From Planpincieux to the Relais d'Arpette via the Col du Grand Ferret.

Starting from Arpnouva, the hike begins with a magnificent ascent up the glacial valley to the Refuge Elena. The path climbs steeply to the Col Ferre, which is the highest point of the day. The descent is straightforward on the Swiss side to the Refuge de la Peule, a lovely little stop-off amidst the cows. The descent follows a track suitable for vehicles, with the option to cut across some of the hairpin bends through cow pastures. There is also a ford to cross. A mountain hut a little further up offers a chance for a short break. The rest of the route, which is straightforward, offers beautiful views of the glaciers. The walk ends on the road and finishes at La Fouly.

A lovely downhill hike leading from the restaurant near the Plan de l’Aiguille cable car to Montenvers station, with a return journey by train to Chamonix station.

A short, easy walk at the foot of the Aiguilles de Chamonix, including the Aiguille du Midi, with views of the nearby Mont Blanc in particular. Ideal for families or on hot days. The little Lac Bleu, nestled at the foot of the Aiguilles de Chamonix, makes for a very pleasant break, safe for children… accompanied by their parents.

The Pointe de la Croix is clearly visible to the east of La Thuile. This circular hike offers sweeping views of the Mont Blanc massif and the 4,000-metre peaks on the Italian-Swiss border, in particular the easily recognisable Cervino. The return route takes you via the popular Lac d'Arpy.

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.

This 4th stage of the Tour Mont Blanc (TMB) begins with a descent to Val Veny before climbing up Arp Vieille and to the Fauvre Edge. The route hugs the mountain to reach the ski slopes and drops down 800m to Courmayeur. Let's do it!
