Chemin Le Brévent on the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB): A trail that weaves through the rugged beauty of the Mont Blanc massif, Chemin Le Brévent is a highlight of the renowned Tour du Mont Blanc. This path offers a spectacular journey for hikers, showcasing panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows, and the indomitable spirit of the French Alps.

As you ascend along Chemin Le Brévent, the air becomes crisper, and the landscape unfolds in a breathtaking display. The trail leads you to the Brévent summit, where the reward is a sweeping vista that stretches across the Chamonix Valley and the majestic Mont Blanc. It's a place where the grandeur of nature meets the determination of those seeking adventure.

Bellachat Refuge

Highlight • Pub

It is a beautiful wooden refuge, at 2,152 meters above sea level. There is the possibility to eat and have a drink with a superb view of Mont-Blanc and its chain of peaks.

Due to repeated droughts, access to water has become difficult at the refuge. Before going up there, do not forget to fill your water bottles in the valley.

Aiguilette des Houches

Highlight • Summit

It's worth the climb to this minor peak for the added altitude and the stunning views of the Mont Blanc range as well as Brévent and Fiz.

Lake Brévent

Highlight • Other

This small lake is located between the Aiguillette des Houches and the Brévent. Often snowy, I advise against swimming, but it's great for cooling off hot feet in summer.
