Set in the heart of the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve, this beautiful lake, which is often snow-covered, is a wonderful place from which to admire the marvellous views of the Aiguilles de Chamonix, les Drus and la Verte. Lac Blanc hut at the arrival.

Starting from the cable-car station, go down the combe de la Chavanne. Near the
old stables, follow the ski slope on the left which winds its way up the hill and
passes close to an old chalet and the Lac de la Flegere (2 027 m). Take the path
below the Tete Aubuy, which follows a ridge (small lake) and joins the footpath
coming up from Argentiere. The path then gradually flattens and leads to Lac
Blanc.

Suggestions: Go down via the very pretty Lacs des Chéserys (Nature reserve)
to the Col des Montets itinerary or Argentière or Index.
Descent via the Chalets des Chéserys to Argentière.
