Boost up from the Champex Lac Breya chairlift before hiking to Cabane D'Orny for a croute and back! This route passes in front of Le Chatelet where I had my huge avalanche back in 2012, feeling very lucky to still be here today. Not too much vertical, but a nice hike along the mountain edge before climbing up the morraine to Cabane D'Orny.
