Trail description

From Tré-le-Champ over the Col des Montets and up through the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve past the Chéserys lakes and the Lac Blanc to La Flégère, about 9 km with some 988 m of climbing. This variant of the Tour du Mont-Blanc avoids the ladders of the Aiguillette d'Argentière on the main line. Huts and gîtes along the Tour du Mont-Blanc fill up in summer, so book beds well ahead.
