A close-up of the peak of Mont Blanc.Part of the precarious path from Plan Praz to La Flegere.The path crosses large scree slopes on which you are recommended not to stop.Through bilberry bushes the path climbs to Tete aux Vents.Look out for ibex in this area.From near Tete aux Vents, looking across to the Col de Balme.The alternative route via Col de Montets starts as a gradual descent.The alternative route via Col de Montets (avoiding the ladders) is still very steep.The Auberge la Boerne in Tre-Le-Champ.
