Still, it remains a relatively demanding journey.<\/p>\n<p>The journey begins in the village of Saint-Andr\u00e9. From there, go up to reach La Palud, then<\/p>\n<p>Bellecombette. From these hamlets, head toward the stone path leading to the forest.<\/p>\n<p>At an altitude of 600 m, you\u2019ll see a lovely glade. Follow the stream of the nearby brook to reach the <b>wondrous and mysterious sight<\/b> of the Black Lake at 730 m.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the perfect place for a break. Take the time to relax in the sun, far from the shade of the forest. Once well rested, follow the signs back toward Saint-Andr\u00e9 Lake.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best Time To Go:<\/b> Between May and August<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Le Tour aux Houches<\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/reserve-naturelle-aiguilles-rouges.jpg\" alt=\"natural reserve of the aiguilles rouges\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Natural Reserve of the Aiguilles Rouges \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:R%C3%A9serve_naturelle_nationale_des_Aiguilles_Rouges_6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tiia Monto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a>,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Distance: <\/b>23.37 km<\/p>\n<p><b>Total Ascent: <\/b>1.270 m<\/p>\n<p><b>Average Hike Duration: <\/b>7h<\/p>\n<p><b>Level:<\/b> Very Hard<\/p>\n<p><b>Best Time To Go:<\/b> Between May and July<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a trail to test yourself and discover new sights, you are in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>To begin this <b>odyssey<\/b> in the best conditions, start your ascent from Le Tour toward Montroc-le-Planet, Chamonix train station, located at 1.353 m altitude.<\/p>\n<p>From there, it\u2019s a steep climb of the Aiguillette d\u2019Argenti\u00e8re.<b>You can use the ladders available to change up your ascent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve reached the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve (at 2,042 m), take a breather and eat a snack to refuel.
