From the village of Le Lavancher, just outside Chamonix, this hike takes you to a more confidential Mer de Glace observation point than the famous Montenvers: Le Chapeau. The chalet, which backs onto the mountain, was once next to the glacier and today bears witness to its gradual retreat. Enjoy traditional dishes at the Chalet Restaurant du Chapeau while admiring this impressive landscape. You'll have a fine view of the Arveyron torrent (the outlet of the Mer de Glace), which is joined by the Chapeau torrent at the waterfall of the same name.

The natural site of the Mer de Glace comes from the glaciers of Leschaux and Géant. The Mer de Glace is the largest glacier in France: 7 km long, 40 km2 in area, 200 m thick, altitude 1913 m. Soak up the high mountain atmosphere of the place, contemplating the Drus (3754m), and the Grandes Jorasses (4208m), mythical summits that have seen so many mountaineers illustrate themselves in their faces. In 1741, the Englishmen Windham and Pocock, ignoring the local superstitions, visited the famous "glaciers" of the Chamonix valley, considered at the time as haunts of demons. Despite dire predictions, they came down alive and described for the first time what they called the Mer de Glace. 1880, the Grand Hôtel du Montenvers was inaugurated, the time when mules and sedan chairs brought the first tourists to the site, at an altitude of 1913m. In 1892, the project to build a railroad to reach Montenvers was launched. It aroused fierce opposition from Chamonix residents who feared the alteration of their valley and wanted to protect the jobs of the guides and muleteers. 1908, on August 9th, the line opened up to the place called "Caillet".

The church was built in 1726 in a baroque style with a very beautiful bell tower. Its altarpiece was classified in 1912.

The Argentière glacier is a glacier of the Mont-Blanc massif. It flows towards the village of Argentière, hence its name. About 100 years ago, the glacier reached as far as the Argentière temple (1,250 meters); in recent years, the terminal tongue of the glacier, which still extends to about 1,250 meters, has separated from the rest of the glacier at about 1,900 meters.

The Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve is a remarkable protected area. Its natural environments range from spruce and larch forests, alpine moors and grasslands dotted with lakes and ponds, to the mineral landscapes of the heights. The Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve was created in 1974. Faced with the boom in tourist development in the Chamonix valley in the 1970s, a number of people (including J. Eyheralde) who were sensitive to environmental issues worked towards its creation. Its name comes from the rock that forms its relief: gneiss, which takes on reddish hues under the effect of iron oxidation. The natural wealth of the Nature Reserve can be seen in its altitudinal layering: at each level, the natural environments adapt to the sometimes extreme conditions. From the very first slopes, the spruce and larch forests are home to woodpeckers, owls and saproxylic insects, which feed on the dead wood. A little higher up, the forest becomes less dense, and the rhododendron and bilberry moors become the favorite terrain of the black grouse. Higher still, the landscape is a mosaic of environments: alpine spikenard meadows, blueberry and juniper heaths, rocks polished by the glaciers of yesteryear, ponds and peat bogs, all intermingle. The Alpine ibex, the rock ptarmigan, dragonflies such as the Cordulie alpestre and the Tarier des prés find here everything they need to live and reproduce. As you climb towards the summits, the landscape becomes more mineral: moraines, scree, rock faces, lakes and glaciers follow one another. Fauna is scarce, but life survives. Androsaces, small cushion plants perfectly adapted to extreme conditions, dot the walls with touches of color. Regulations : - Dogs forbidden - Garbage prohibited - Fire prohibited - Flower picking prohibited - Overflight prohibited - Camping prohibited, reservation required for bivouacs - Swimming prohibited in Lac Blancs and Lac Chéserys - All sound equipment prohibited - Inscriptions on rocks, markings and signs prohibited - All advertising referring to the nature reserve is prohibited - Work prohibited, including the installation of new climbing routes - Hunting prohibited - Gatherings and events subject to authorization

A chalet serving light refreshments located right by the gorges de l'Arveyron (canyon), offering a view of Les Drus and the Chamonix valley. The Buvette du Chapeau as we see it today is not the first of its kind... In 1855, a refuge was created to accommodate the many tourists and guides crossing the Mer de Glace from Montenvers. Over the course of almost a century, the Chapeau refuge became an almost unmissable excursion, as travelers flocked to the Mauvais Pas trail. Le Chapeau is like a reward, thanks to its well-served table and its breathtaking view over the Chamonix valley. Following a landslide in the winter of 1953, it was decided that the Chapeau refuge was too exposed to rockfalls and other hazards. In 1954, Gilberte and Luc Couttet took over the concession for the buvette du Chapeau for the next twenty years, with the aim of redeveloping it close to the old chalet, but protected from rockfalls. Luc and his sons Freddy and Michel set to work, building the buvette du Chapeau you know today, against the rock. Le Chapeau has always been a family-run bar, and since 2011 has been run by Thierry Couttet, one of Michel's sons. Reservations strongly advised for lunch or dinner on site: 06 10 77 59 01
