A good way to stretch the legs and get some close up views of the Glacier d'Argentière
Starting in a forest and ending amongst the high, jagged peaks of the Glacier d'Argentière, this route is an excellent - and scenic - way of getting some exercise.
The route begins at the huge Grands Montets parking area and winds up just to lookers left of the pierre à ric piste. When the piste bends around to the right, cut off it and climb up via some steep zig zags through small trees to the Chalet Refuge de Lognan.
The views from the Refuge are wonderful, with the nearby Aiguille du Chardonnet and the jumbled ice formations of the Glacier d'Argentière's toe vying for your attention. If you're here when the Refuge is open for business (which is whenever the Grands Montets lifts are open) then a good coffee and some food will also be vying for your attention - enjoy both the views and sustenance before heading back down to the parking area.
