General information
Set off in the peaceful cool of dawn for two legendary hikes in the Chamonix Valley that will leave you with unforgettable memories, both in your mind and in your legs.
These outings are for people who are in very good physical shape and are used to walking in the mountains.
Program
Thursday: La Jonction - 2589 m
Following in the footsteps of the first climbers of Mont Blanc, through forest and then steep rocks, we will climb the Montagne de la Côte to the junction of the two mighty Bossons and Taconnaz glaciers. Elevation gain: 1,500 m / Distance: 15 km
Sunday: Mont Buet - 3096 m
Also known as “Mont Blanc des Dames,” climbing Buet is no walk in the park. After walking along the Vallon de Bérard to the refuge of the same name, the trail becomes steeper and rockier. The climb is long and demanding, the scenery is lunar, but the arrival at the summit is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. Elevation gain: 1,800 m / Distance: 19 km
