The tour of the Dents Blanches is a challenging route in the wilderness, suitable for expert walkers who know how to find their bearings in the mountains: several of the technical sections are more like high-mountain hiking.
Day 1: Allamands (Samoëns) to Refuge Bostan-Tornay
The route winds its way up through forests and alpine pastures, between the Dents d'Oddaz and the Avouille, to the plain of the Bostan-Tornay hut, with its panoramic views over the Giffre valley, the Pointe de la Golèse and the Chalets de Bottière. An extraordinary site of rock, meadows and alpine flora.
Don't forget to climb to the Col de Golèse above the refuge, a 30-minute walk away. The view of the Terre Maudites, the Golèse refuge and the Giffre and Morzine valleys is breathtaking.
Day 2: Refuge de Bostan-Tornay to Refuge Vogealle from Col de Bostan.
You'll pass through a mining landscape with magnificent high-mountain panoramas: Lac des Verdets, Cirque du Bout du Monde, Pointe Rousse, Lac de la Vogealle, Dents Blanches, Pointe de Bostan.
Day 3: Refuge Vogealle to Refuge de Folly
Magnificent scenery, rocks of changing colors, from gray to anthracite, and once again the turquoise-blue waters of an alpine lake.
We propose a route on the French slopes, but if you wish, the itinerary can also be extended into Switzerland.
