Description
Venture to the foot of the mythical Aiguilles d'Arves. You'll find yourself in a picture-postcard setting, between mountain pastures and forests. Accessible to even inexperienced hikers, this promises to be an enchanting break!
This long hike presents no difficulties for families with minimal mountaineering equipment. The itinerary takes you to the emblematic Basse de Gerbier, which at 2,578 meters altitude lies immediately above the Tête de Chat (Aiguille d'Arves septentrionale, 3,324 meters altitude). Along the way, you'll come across numerous herds of cattle and, if you're lucky, marmots.
This is a mountain itinerary. You need to be well equipped and experienced in the mountains before embarking on this tour.
