From Chamonix you can walk or take the cable car to the Planpratz middle station, 1,999 m. From there, the gravel path leads to the Col de Brevent 2,368 m. You can also take a gravel road, ladders and steps to the summit Brevent 2,525 m with a viewing platform.

The trail takes you along a picturesque ridge, allowing you to soak in the majestic beauty of the French Alps from a different perspective. It's a moderate-level hike with some uphill sections, but the scenery along the way makes it all worthwhile.

As you traverse this enchanting path, you'll be treated to sweeping vistas of glaciers, lush valleys, and charming alpine villages below. The ever-changing landscapes will keep you engaged and inspired throughout the hike.

One of the highlights of Brévent-Flégère en balcon is reaching the Brévent summit. From here, you'll have an awe-inspiring 360-degree view of the Mont Blanc range, which is truly unforgettable. It's the perfect spot to take a breather and appreciate the grandeur of nature. 🌄❤️

The beauty of this section is not just limited to the views. Along the way, you'll encounter colorful wildflowers, and if you're lucky, you might even spot some alpine wildlife roaming freely in their natural habitat.

The road is steep, full of stones. On the other side, a dangerous path to the ladder. So watch out.
