Hike to Pointe des Aravis
Last fall, I went on a hike to Pointe des Aravis, in La Clusaz: It is the first named summit on the Aravis range north of Col des Aravis. However, it is essentially a small bump on the way to Aiguille de Borderan.

I walked on those tracks and slightly beyond in order to go up to Tête du Danay, where I had already been during spring. I also walked around Espace Nordique des Confins.
