In the summer of 2023, I went on a hike to Pointe Noire de Pormenaz. I had tried a few times before to reach the summit, but the paths I chose were not quick enough so I gave up. That summer, there was an early bus from Saint-Gervais so I made another attempt. On the way up, I took an alternate trail that I had scoped out during a previous attempt. On the way down, I walked to the Servoz train station.
At the end of summer 2020, I went on a hike near Chamonix: Starting from the upper station of the Planpraz cable car, I walked to Plaine Joux in Passy, passing by Col du Brévent, Pont d’Arlevé and Refuge de Moëde Anterne. I had already been in the area many years ago, when I went to Col d’Anterne.
At the beginning of summer, I went on a hike to Chalets de Charbonnière and Chalets de Varan, above Passy.
At the end of the summer of last year, I went on a hike to Col d’Anterne and Lac de Pormenaz, in the Giffre mountains not far from the Mont Blanc. I basically followed this itinerary (in the other direction).
