Departure from Magland (Haute-Savoie)
A short walk in the area around Flaine. Best chosen if you’re short on time, if the weather is uncertain, or if the DMC is closed. Once you’ve passed the initial section on the road, a path through the woods leads to a mountain pasture overlooking the lake. A pleasant mountain landscape where you can enjoy nature and perhaps spot a herd of cows.
On the way back, the path takes you across a scree slope at the foot of the north face, then through a woodland. From a distance, you can make out a few caves at the foot of the cliff. Only one of them, in the wooded section, can be reached without too much risk.
Take care on the descent through the woods; there is a slightly steep section with chains.

This fifth stage crosses the Montagne d'Anterne and, via a high-mountain route, the Aiguilles Rouges massif, offering superb views of the Mont Blanc massif. From the refuge, dominated by the famous Rochers des Fiz, the GR®5 trail climbs to the lake and then to the Col d'Anterne. From there, it descends to the Moëde Anterne Refuge and the Chalets de Moëde before skirting the rocky ridge of the Fonds de Moëde. It crosses the Diosaz at the Pont d’Arvelé to climb the slope of the Aiguilles Rouges massif, passing the ruins of the Chalets d’Arvelé before ascending to the Col du Brévent. After a short descent, it climbs again via ladders up the Brévent ridge and reaches its summit, which offers a splendid panorama of the Mont Blanc massif. The GR®5, via a very long and arduous descent, passes the Refuge de Bellachat and then, further down, the monumental statue of Christ the King, before crossing the Arve and entering Les Houches.
