video of the day
Return to the origins, 6 years ago that is where everything started, our love for the Alps, our first time at Col de Balme is something that we will never forget, that awesome view to the Chamonix valley and the summits of Mont Blanc and Aiguille Vert, while hiking the Tour of Mont Blanc.
We started this beautiful day at La Peuty(Trient), after 1h45m of hike we reached Col de Balme, little pause to eat something, then we went SE to the ridge of Les Grandes Otanes(2679m), it’s a nice hike with a couple passages of climbing grade II, the view is always awesome, once at the summit i continued south to reach a small col where i started the descent to Chaux des Grands, there are some cairns, from 2280m there is a path that leads to Refuge des Grands, then i continued to East and there is a very nice part of the trail, very beautiful.
I kept descending and one hour later i was at the starting point, Le Peuty.
