Ibex relax against a background of the Glacier du Tour
The beautiful Reserve Naturelle des Aiguilles Rouges has numerous hikes of lengths and levels to suit all types of mountain walkers.
Due to their protected status and natural lack of fear, it is quite easy to find Ibex in this nature reserve, as well as ermine, marmotte and other mountain fauna. In late spring, summer and fall the quantity and variety of mountain flowers is dazzling. Definitely a ‘must see’ area when visiting the Chamonix valley!
We can organise guided day trips or overnight visits to this wonderful nature reserve which offers beautiful views of the Mont Blanc massif, as well as the whole of the Chamonix valley. This nature reserve includes the famous Lac Blanc which overlooks the Argentiere glacier, and the beautiful Vallon de Berard, tucked away near the village of Vallorcine. Each of these locations has a small refuge for overnight stays. You can choose a hike to these refuges just for a lunch stop or book your trip as an easy weekend hike suitable for families with children. Travel through this beautiful nature reserve is included if you book on our Tour of the Aiguilles Rouges multi-day trek.
