Views from l'Index lift station (reached via Télécabine Flégère–Les Praz lift), Chamonix, France, Europe. After seeing views from l'Index, we took the chairlift back down to La Flégère, then hiked a loop to Lac Blanc and Lac de Chéserys (5.8 miles with 1930 feet ascent and descent) above Chamonix, in France, Europe. This rewarding circuit covers the most scenic parts of Stage 10 (Étape 10) of the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB), but with less effort than starting from Tré-le-Champ. This hike on the Tour du Mont Blanc is also part of the Walker’s Haute Route (from Chamonix to Zermatt).
