Lac Blanc Hike
La Forêt April 14th, 2007
The hike to Lac Blanc is probably one of Chamonix’s best known. Follow classic high alpine trail - there are no trees at this altitude - to a perfect view. The pale green lake reflects the mountains, and there’s a friendly refuge where you can have a simple but tasty lunch or even stay, which is open mid-June to around the end of September (reservation essential for sleeping +33(0)4.50.53.49.14) . A little under 10km, it normally takes three or four hours from the top of the Flegere lift at Les Praz.
