Escursionismo a Passy

A highly enjoyable hike of you don't have the time for a full day hike in this beautiful area. It visits several beauty spots, and is mostly shady in the forest. W did it on late June and found wild strawberry, wild blackberry and wilds cherries.

Je préfère la boucle dans l'autre sens, comme ça vous montez par le passage aérien avec les cables, ce qui est plus facile que d'y descendre 😉

A fantastic hike with amazing views all the time. The refuge is very nice and has great views too; the lake is beautiful. Note that the suggested route follows unpaved roads most of the way. It is possible, and much more enjoyable, to take all the possible shortcuts; those go through woods or small paths and are more enjoyable. Also, if you are very sure-footed, you can return from Lake Pomeranz on the path that you will see on the map (instead of retracing your steps back to the main path). This takes you to a very steep route down, which uses several ladders and several chain-assisted descends. What fun !!

This hike is part of one featured in "Alpes magazine" (1406) of 2014 (pages 28-29). That hike ends at Refuge de Moede-Anterne. Lakes, torrents and great views; all that in a 4h30 hike.

Completed this yesterday. It is an amazing hike which has everything, including scrambling up rockfaces with ropes. lengthy climbing and descending but worth it for the views.
