Located in the middle of a green pasture, rich in flowers, the old chalets of Chailloux do not offer you cold drinks (they are abandoned buildings), but one of the most beautiful views of Mont Blanc and the Bossons and Taconnaz. Staggering!

Aiguilette des Houches

Highlight • Summit

It's worth the climb to this minor peak for the added altitude and the stunning views of the Mont Blanc range as well as Brévent and Fiz.

View of Mont Blanc from the Réserve Naturelle de Carlaveyron

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Time to take a picnic! And apply sunscreen. On ALL uncovered body parts 😀

Perfect view between L'Aiguillette dès Houches and the Pointe de Lapaz.

Peace, flowers, swallowtails. Pure mountains!

Bellachat Refuge

Highlight • Pub

It is a beautiful wooden refuge, at 2,152 meters above sea level. There is the possibility to eat and have a drink with a superb view of Mont-Blanc and its chain of peaks.

Due to repeated droughts, access to water has become difficult at the refuge. Before going up there, do not forget to fill your water bottles in the valley.
