Description

We'll head through Bois du Bouchet and past Hotel Arveyron to La Pierre d'Orthaz.

From here, it's up to a high point of La Norvège (1141m) before descending to regroup on the river bridge (1097m).

People can skip the loop up to Norvège and head straight to the bridge if they prefer a shorter run.

We'll follow the river back to Chamonix, via the Hélistation des Bois and past Hotel Arveyron again.
