We'll meet in Les Houches at 8.30am, where you'll meet your guide and the other members of the group. This first day gets off to a gentle start. We take the cable car to gain altitude effortlessly, then walk along a balcony path that runs alongside the rails of the Nid d'Aigle cog railway. The path winds past meadows, horses and cows, with the Chamonix valley in the background.
After crossing a torrent on a footbridge, the ascent to the Col du Tricot is gradual. A picnic break by the stream gives us a chance to admire the Dômes de Miage. We finish the day with a leisurely descent through the mountain pastures to the Chalet du Truc, a simple, cosy accommodation surrounded by greenery.
