A must-see walk in the Chamonix Valley, Lac Blanc offers an unforgettable panorama of the Mont Blanc range.

ROAD ACCESS
Head towards the Col des Montets (between Vallorcine and Argentière). Park on the large parking lot of Trélechamp, a little below the pass.

ITINERARY
At the Trélechamp car park, take the path marked “Lac Blanc 2h45” which rushes into the forest. After a long series of laces, follow the direction of Lac Blanc to the sign.
After a new series of laces, the path leads to the imposing Aiguillette d’Argentière.
To continue, it will be necessary to borrow carefully the ladders fixed to the rock walls; no problem to have, the scales are not exposed to the void, only the passage on the scale requires more attention. After this little escapade, continue the trail in laces until you reach a rather solid cairn accompanied by signs.
Continue towards Lac Blanc. The trail will pass near the Chéserys Lakes: do not hesitate to stop there to admire the panorama on the Mont Blanc range. Further, the path invites to take a final scale easier to climb than the first. A final climb in large blocks of rocks will reach the Chalet du Lac Blanc and the lake.

ROAD ACCESS:
At Trélechamps, take the direction of Switzerland, pass the Col des Montets then Le Buet hamlet, take the road that goes left towards the hamlet of Couteray.
Park on the large car park in the second hairpin.

ITINERARY:
From the hamlet of Couteray, 1345m, a large trace goes up in the middle of the typical wooden constructions of the “valley of the Bear”, the zigzag trace zag in forest before coming to Granges 1566m. The descent takes place at the place said “Sur Le Rocher”, then the hamlet of Lay.

Superb gazebo that this Aiguillette des Posettes (2201m). The views of the massif of Aiguilles Rouges and Mont Blanc will enchant you.
This starting point makes hiking much more varied by mixing forest and pastures.
