Description

Green and flowery plateau. Panoramic balcony facing Mont-Blanc. Departure area for free flight and paragliding.

Take the path to the left of the gondola and follow it along the parking lot, then leave the path to the left leading to the Pierre à Ruskin. Take the forest track passing under the cables of the cable car. Shortly after, turn left onto the path that crosses a fairly dense forest, but offers pleasant views of the valley. Cross the Petit Balcon Sud. We quickly reach the Plan des Chablettes where some ruins of a creamery remain. Then continue to climb following the signs for Planpraz - Altitude 2000.

More information is available at the Tourist Office or the Office de Haute-Montagne and in our trail guide.

Brévent cable car

From Chamonix: first a gondola to Planpraz at 2000m, then a cable car to Le Brévent at 2525m. Here you'll enjoy 360° panoramic views of the Mont-Blanc chain.In summer, Planpraz is the starting point for many wonderful escapades, including Lac Cornu and the Grand Balcon Sud. It also offers an excellent launch area for paragliders. From the Brévent summit, a path leads in summer to the Aiguillette des Houches via the Bel-Lachat refuge. The Brévent slabs, facing Mont Blanc, form a pleasant, quiet climbing site just a 5-minute walk from the top of the cable car, . In summer, as in winter, take advantage of the beautiful sunny terraces for a moment of tranquillity and contemplation! Eating out: in Planpraz, "La Bergerie" offers traditional cuisine and fast food. In Le Brévent, the restaurant "Le Panoramique" welcomes you on its terrace with a breathtaking view!
