Trail Through the Perennial Snowfield at Point des Voiz, Réserve Naturelle des Aiguilles Rouges

Highlight • Trail

This part of the Point des Voiz is covered by a blanket of snow that crosses the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) trail. Hikers should cross it with caution. There are metal ladders at some points to facilitate the ascent.
This section is located in the 'Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve' characterized by steep slopes and a spectacular array of flora. From the moraines to the glaciers, a multitude of plants have adapted to the extreme living conditions.
Created in 1974, the Aiguilles Rouges nature reserve covers an area of 3,300 hectares and peaks at between 1,200 m and 2,965 m.

For many it will be a breeze, in my case it seemed like a somewhat complex journey, you need to have some experience in the mountains: you had to cross several snowfields (on July 31st in the middle of a heat wave week), pass several iron stairs , walk through blocks... come on, to walk carefully.
