This is the classic view of Mont Blanc with Lac Blanc in the foreground - not to be missed. I advise you to avoid being there in the middle of the day in summer. It is in the early morning and at the end of the day that you will find the most beautiful light and the greatest calm. The golden colors in autumn are beautiful.

Stairs

- Garmin data: 5:48h total time, 690m total elevation gain. Video: relive.cc/view/v4OGejxj15q
- NOTE: The Great South Balcony, also, is BESTIAL. Wow, amazing. Even apart from the wonderful setting of the Montblanc mountain range, the southern area is a spectacle in itself. You feel privileged to walk through this area. The White Lake is wonderful. The only shame is that …
