Aiguillettes des Houches is a 2,000-meter peak that sits directly opposite the north face of Mont Blanc. Running along the ridgeline, you’ll get the classic view of this local giant, followed by vistas of the tumbling Les Bossons glacier and the dark, rocky Aiguilles des Chamonix. The trails on this route are technical without being too remote.
Bonus KMs and Bailouts
The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we've included the download below.
