A mid-altitude walk along the northern slopes of the valley. The start
and end points can be reached using the ski lifts. Our description covers the nicest way to enjoy this route (with the best views and ease of climb).
Get off the chairlift and head down on the left below the former Hotel de
Bellevue. Views over the Bionnassay and Gouter peaks. Continue alongside the Mont-Blanc tram tracks. Down on the right is an Alpine pasture still used
for grazing. Join the Col de Voza (1,653 m). Follow the path on the right leading
up to Hotel du Prarion and the LHSG cable car station (1,853 m).
You can also start from Les Houches.
More information at the Tourist Office, the High Mountain Office, and in our hiking guide.
Careful: path conditions may change - remember to check the latest information before setting off.
