At the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves from Le Chalmieu
Presentation
When you put on your hiking boots on the parking lot you can already see them... the Aiguilles d'Arves are beckoning you, like three stone giants. Answer the call of the mountain and come and see them up close, they have so much to tell!
An orientation table shows you the summits with evocative names.
Do you recognize the "Tête du Chat"?
And look at the altitudes indicated :
most of them are around 3 000 meters !
It was not until 1839 that the first mountaineers climbed the Aiguille centrale. But for you, no doubt about the direction: the Aiguilles d'Arves is straight ahead!
The first part of the path is quite easy. Take advantage of it to stroll among the old chalets. After crossing the footbridge that allows you to cross the stream without getting your feet wet, the slope becomes steeper.
The path sinks into a landscape that is more and more mineral and chaotic. A few more efforts, and you find yourself at the foot of the three majestic ladies who raise their points until they touch the sky.
After having admired this splendid picture, you will be able to return, another spectacle awaits you. This time it is towards the valley that the path plunges and your glance...
