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.
