Merci 🙏🏻

We went up the index today(early June 2023) and it’s completely covered in snow so we weren’t prepared to go through that. Ended up hiking up to Le Blanc from the first train car up instead of hiking down from the index. Keep that in mind if you’re planning to do this hike! When it’s snowy it ain’t easy

Your videos bring back SUCH memories from my TMB Trek, back in 2012. :) At approx 11:00 (not visible), at lower right, there are Striations, grooves carved on the rock, from when the Glaciers covered nearly the ENTIRE mountain range (and carved out those lakes) ! But it is ALSO so SAD, seeing how much the glaciers across the valley - esp Mer de Glace - have Receded, in just 11 years ! On Day 11 of our TMB Trek, after staying (a STORMY) overnight at Refuge Lac Blanc, my TMB Brothers and I hiked from Lac Blanc to Flegere - on our first day of CONTINUOUS Rain ..... and then finally said "**** It !", and HIKED down to/through Chamonix, to finish our Trek. Thanks for your videos.

You two deserve more viewers. Spread the word people!

Thank you for this video - really motivated us to add this hike to our itinerary. Are these chairlifts included in the Mont Blanc multipass?

Yes it is!

Hello! The description of the video is misleading. This is NOT the Lac blanc in the Vosges (Orbey). This is the one in the Alps (Charmonix) :) The Vosges are a completely different mountain range north of the Alps.

Thank you for bringing that to our attention! Our assistant must have googled the wrong Lac Blanc. ;) It’s been corrected.

What time of the year is this filmed? Planning to go to Chamonix in end of the May. great job. New sub.

Hi.. are the gondolas/ski lift all the way to L’index included in the mont blanc multi day pass?

You did some great hikes in chamonix! If you were there for only one day (like I will be), which one would you recommend?

Do you mean the Nord balcon hike to mer de glac?

Thank you for sharing info and the experience. We are planning for this hike in June this year. Do you recommend renting trekking poles in chamonix or bring your own ? We are traveling from US

There are lots of places to rent hiking gear in town, so you can do that. If you already have some trekking poles that can fold down and pack in a checked bag, I would do that!

When did you do this hike, I am planning to go there end of June, just worried if the lake would melt at that time. Last time, I did the hiking in charmonix was in mid of June, there is a lot of snow up in the mountains

I walked from my digs in La Frasse to Argentiere. Then hike up to Lac Blanc where I wild-camped. Next day I walked the whole way down into Cham. At the time I was 53. She needs to stop with the drama-queen stuff.
