Reading the route
This loop around the Mont-Blanc massif closes on itself, crossing France, Italy and Switzerland. The start, in Chamonix, is on a Friday evening, at 7:45 pm.
The trail first passes Saint-Gervais, then climbs toward Col du Bonhomme.
It then crosses the highest pass of the route, Col des Pyramides Calcaires, at 2,571 m, before dropping into Courmayeur, Italy.
The trail climbs back up to Grand Col Ferret, passes Champex-Lac and Trient, before closing the loop in Chamonix. Forty-four hours and forty-five minutes separate the start from the final cutoff.
