A superb walk facing the long barrier of the Rochers des Fiz (or Chaîne des Fiz – Massif de Platé, Haut Giffre), in an exceptional setting with a section of the route running alongside the Souay torrent. When the sun is shining, the reflections of Lake Pormenaz are truly beautiful.

Starting from Plaine Joux (Passy), I suggest a somewhat challenging hike to reach the summit of the Pointe Noire de Pormenaz whilst enjoying magnificent scenery (particularly towards Mont Blanc).
Please note: there is a steep, securedsection (cables, ladders) between (9) and (10).

If you spend a night at the Moëde Anterne refuge, you can make a round trip to Lake Anterne, taking a different route on the descent from the refuge.Beautiful view of Mont Blanc. Three lakes on the programme: Lac de Pormenaz on the first day, then a night at the refuge, Lac d'Anterne the next day, which reflects the rocky ridge of Les Fiz, and Lac Vert near Plaine Joux, to be saved for the return trip.

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.

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.
