Best Chamonix Hikes: Montenvers, Mer De Glace, Grand Balcon Nord, Glacier Des Pelerins

[@WildGoosander]

The path across from the Plan de l'Aiguille to the old cablecar station is used to get to the Refuge des Grands Mulets. There was risk of stonefall affecting the path 44 years ago when I used it. It can only be worse now, plus the state of the 'glaciers' is so much worse.

Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !!!

Good decision not to cross that glacier. I came back from gare de glaciers across it a couple of weeks ago and the descent of the lateral moraine was super sketchy. The path drops down below the glacier and then climbs back up on the lateral moraine. Great video though.

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment, great to hear your experience too.

How long did it take for you to get from the train station to the hotel?

[@BikeFlips]

I think about 2 or 3 hours. It wasn't too long, and we stopped for coffee on the way!

[@lenlen0p]

Do you have a map of the route you did by any chance? :) And also total distance?

[@BikeFlips]

Yes! You can see all of that info here: connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/9029122983

😁 It's Mer de Glace : Sea of Ice, not mother of Ice.

Thank you, you are correct and I will try to update the title!
