parcours

Departing from the village of Trient, you will begin this route with a climb in the undergrowth which will quickly take you to heights to reach the Catogne mountain pasture. After having switched to the French side, the Col de Balme will offer you a magnificent panorama over the Chamonix valley. The route will then take you towards the Trient glacier by a long balcony path, rather rolling at first, but quickly becoming quite technical... You will then descend into the valley to reach the Buvette du Glacier and continue on a balcony path along the bisse de Trient. This will be an opportunity to lengthen the stride for 3 km before the final descent to Trient.
