Description

The traverse of the northern “balcony” route above Chamonix is one of Haute Savoie’s greatest walks. The outing starts by taking the Aiguille du Midi cable car to the Plan de l’Aiguille and finishes by taking the Montenvers rack-and-pinion railway.
There is no better way to immerse oneself in the magical atmosphere of the high mountains and marvel at the magnificent summits of the Mont Blanc Range. The walk starts in the shadow of the Aiguille du Midi, the Dôme du Goûter and Mont Blanc, to finish beside the Mer de Glace, at the foot of the Grandes Jorasses, the Drus and the Aiguille Verte. And, what is more, the entire route offers unbeatable views of the Aiguilles Rouges and Passy nature reserves, just two of the 9 nature reserves in Haute Savoie – the largest number of any French “département”. On leaving the Aiguille du Midi cable car, follow signs to the Refuge de l’Aiguille, and then to Montenvers. Type of itinerary : A to B. Maps: IGN Top 25 n° 3531 ET Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
