Take the bus to Les Houches and then the Bellevue cable car. At the top, before you start the walk, take some time to soak in the awesome high peaks looming above as you stand at the foot of the standard route for climbing Mt. Blanc. Our route takes you as close as possible to the Bionnassay glacier.
This fine trail takes you across Les Aiguilles Rouges facing the glaciers and the famous summits of the Mont Blanc Mountain chain including Mer de Glace, North Face of the Grandes Jorasses, Aiguille Verte, and the Mont Blanc. Upon reaching Lac Blanc Hut, you’ll witness one of the best panoramas on this trip before admiring the beautiful mountain lakes.
Today, take the cable car to Aiguille du Midi at 3,842m high where you'll be greeted with spectacular views over the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. Follow clear trails with incredible mountain views until you reach Mer de Glace Glacier, the largest glacier in France.
This out and back walk takes you from the Le Brevent cable car, perched on a ridge through a nature reserve full of alpine fauna and flora where marmots and ibexes venture fearlessly among the rhododendrons, gentians, cotton grass and other mountain flowers. The destination is the panoramic Aiguilletes des Houches, a remote feeling point with spectacular views in every direction.
