Randonnée pédestre : Aiguillette des Houches

a Les Houches
Presentazione

A magnificent hike in the heart of the Carlaveyron nature reserve. Magnificent panoramas of the Mont-Blanc massif, the wet meadows of Carlaveyron, the Fiz, the Aiguilles Rouges, all the way to Le Buet.

A panoramic hike par excellence, the Aiguillette des Houches is a superb vantage point for observing the Mont Blanc massif.

Although challenging, the ascent through the Chailloux mountain pastures is surrounded by beautiful green landscapes, right in front of the Bossons glacier, Europe's largest icefall.

The arrival at the Aiguillette des Houches will reward your efforts, with an exceptional 360° panorama: on one side the imposing cliffs of the Fiz chain and the Aiguilles Rouges, on the other the Mont Blanc Massif.

The return journey takes you to the heart of the Plateau de Carlaveyron, a nature reserve characterized by its many waterholes nestled between the relief.

You'll then make your way to the Bellachat refuge, a superb vantage point overlooking the Chamonix valley. Here you can take time out for a bite to eat, overlooking the Toit de l'Europe.

On departure or arrival, you can discover the Parc Merlet, a wildlife park where you and your family can observe the typical wildlife of our mountains (marmots, ibex, chamois, etc.).
