Hike to Lacs des Chéserys, Lac de la Remuaz, Lac de la Persévérance, Lac Blanc & Lac de la Flégère

Last summer, I went on a hike in Chamonix and visited another series of lakes: Starting from the upper station of Télécabine de la Flégère, I walked through Lacs des Chéserys, Lac de la Remuaz, Lac de la Persévérance, Lac Blanc and Lac de la Flégère.

Here is a map of the path I walked:

In the morning, I took the train from Annecy to Chamonix. I then boarded a local bus to the lower station of Télécabine de la Flégère. At the upper station, I started walking towards Lacs des Chéserys then continued towards Col des Montets. Before reaching it, at Étang du Golliet, I took a small trail up to Lac de la Remuaz. After that, between Lac de la Remuaz and Lac de la Persévérance, it was off-trail: There were large rocks and it was quite slow-going. After Lac de la Persévérance, I went up to Tête sur les Lacs then walked down towards Lac Blanc. It was my first time walking on that side of the lake. Finally, I went down to La Flégère.
