Suggested walking route starting in Chamonix scheduled for 5 hrs 20 mins
Run start and finish at Camping de la mer de glace. Mostly easy to walk, downhill with some walking stages.
Mostly parallel to the water (Arve and Arveyron). Viewpoint towards the valley/Chamonix after the first climb (Source de l'Arveyron, see photo).
