September 6, 2024,Col des Aravis – La Croix des Frêtes Runde von La Clusaz

Wonderful view of the Mont Blanc massif and Aiguille du Midi. The path is rocky in places, so hiking boots are a must. In hindsight, the other direction would have been better because of the panorama.

Very nice walk from the Col des Aravis. Splendid panoramas on the surrounding mountains and Mont-Blanc.
A somewhat sporty hike carried out without problem with the children (6 and 9 years old).
