Alpes adventure Verified partner 

Accompagnateur en montagne passionné, je propose des randonnées et micro-aventures dans les Alpes pour découvrir la montagne autrement : prendre le temps d’observer, de comprendre et de ressentir ce milieu exceptionnel. Formé à l’animation nature au Parc national de la Vanoise, j’aime partager mes connaissances sur la faune, la flore et les paysages alpins, tout en adaptant chaque sortie au rythme et aux envies du groupe.

Randonnée, raquettes, bivouac ou trekking : mes sorties privilégient la convivialité, la découverte et une approche respectueuse de la montagne.

Map / Alternative trail to avoid the rockfall zone
June 25, 2025 · Conditions · Alternative trail to avoid the rockfall zone
To avoid the area prone to rockfalls and subject to the Contamines municipal ordinance:
  • If you’re coming from the west (Refuge des Prés/Col de Fenêtre): follow the 4x4 trail to the area above the Refuge de la Balme, then head up the T.M.B. trail (Tour du Mont-Blanc) until you rejoin the trail on a plateau near an electrical pylon.
  • If you’re coming from the southeast (Plan Jovet/Col du Bonhomme): descend via the T.M.B. trail toward the Refuge de la Balme, which you can see a little further down. Just above the Balme Refuge, head up the other side by following the 4x4 trail.

This detour adds about 500 m to the distance and involves an additional elevation gain of approximately +/- 100 m
