Route summary
Whilst the walking may be hard, one reward will be some excellent cooking in your various accommodations.  Our hotels and chambres d'hote are all family run and each has a unique and personal feel. Please note that the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix les Bossons closes in mid-September, and the (alternative) Hotel de l'Arve in Chamonix town is then used.
