We went at the end of September with our dog. Al books all recommend taking the gondola up part way but unfortunately for us they were all shut for repairs prior to the ski season so we walked from our hotel! It took us about 7 hrs in total to talk from chamonix town and back again. There is a... More

Walking to Lac Blanc from the Flegere ski lift was an uplifting experience, and for me the highlight of a week spent in the Chamonix area. The walk is not easy, yet not too difficult, good footwear is a must, and with the views over the glaciers at the other side of the valley a camera is a necessity.Lac Blanc... More

The title of this review says it all.... You can get there either from cable car La Flegere or Index (one step above La Flegere). The ideal path is: go to Index, then walk to Lac Blanc, then walk down to La Flegere. It's good after June The problem is that this path is only good after June because the... More
