Mini R. — Google Maps 5/5
A fantastic 3.5 hour hike (going to Lake from the top of the ski lift, and back to the gondola), be careful that on the return it will get steep downgrade and the path is basically broken stones. It can be stressful. On the way you will see spectacular views of the mountains and atleast five Glaciers. The lake itself is deep aqua blue, be sure to go to the one on the vack and climb up for the best views.

Natural splendor worth of visiting. We took the cable car to La Flégère then the 2 hours ascending trail to Lac Blanc. We opted for a loop by Lac Chéserys then back to LA Flégère. This trail back is more strenuous than the popular path to/from Lac Blanc.

Probably the most popular hike in Chamonix, because it's very easy and very beautiful. If you start the hike from the Index arrival point elevation gain is less than 100m. As a result there is always a lot of people. Try to start as early as possible to avoid the worst crowds and better light for pictures. Swimming in the lake is strictly forbidden!
