For those looking to experience some of the most stunning scenery and views that the region has to offer, then Les Tour des Fiz might prove to be an interesting challenge. The route takes in 8 of the refuges mentioned above. More details about the route can be found on the Savoie Mont-Blanc website and accommodation can be booked via the Passy Tourist Office.

The walk predominately follows the line of the Rocher des Fiz to the North and West but also takes in the limestone architecture of the Désert de Platé, a number of spectacular upper alpine pastures rich with flora and fauna as well as numerous stunning waterfalls.

The route can be picked-up at a number of access points, the easiest being the village of Le Lignon if you are starting from the Giffre Valley, or the village of Plaine Joux if you are starting from the Valley D’Arve heading to Chamonix

There are, however, numerous possibilities to explore the region and the National Reserves of Passy and Sixt Fer à Cheval, both through day and multi-day walks with something to suit all levels of ability. We’d be happy to discuss options with you and to help coordinate drop-offs / pick-ups as required where loop tracks aren’t possible.
