Departure from Beaufort (Savoie) (Savoie)
This is a lovely circular route in the Beaufortain, approaching the Mont Blanc massif, allowing you to explore historic and unique routes such as the Chemin du Curé or the Crête des Gittes. The view from the summit over the Alps, from Monte Rosa to the Ecrins, is exceptional.
The section from the Col du Bonhomme to the refuge and on to the Col des Fours is very busy in summer, as it forms part of the Tour du Mont Blanc or one of its variants.

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...
