Les Houches - Les Contamines

About this hike

Beginning in Les Houches’ chalet‑lined streets, the Tour du Mont Blanc launches through spruce forest, crossing the tumbling Dôme torrent and passing the Notre‑Dame‑de‑la‑Gorge pilgrim chapel. Alpine pastures open sudden postcard views of Mont Blanc before a mellow descent into the flower‑decked village of Les Contamines, cradle of Savoyard tradition and cheese.
