The Alpine Pastures of Blaitière Dessous and Dessus

Alpine pastures on the Montagne de Blaitière overlooking the Valley. Fantastic views of the Chamonix Aiguilles.

Start from the Grepon car park at the foot of the Aiguille du Midi, follow the signs to the Pre du Rocher to reach the Alpine pastures and the old chalets of Blaitière-Dessous (1,708 m) - 2 hours. Carry on to the final part of the forest from where you will see the pastures of Blaitière-Dessus appear against a backdrop of the Chamonix Aiguilles. Enjoy the pretty mountain walk on the slope of Mont-Blanc as you approach the pastures.

Other itineraries are available from "Les Planards" car park, the Grand Balcon Nord, or the Aiguille du Midi cablecar midway station.
