    Description

 

Anyone looking fo 'Hero' pictures look no further ! - The Aiguillettes d'Argentiere are a group of three small towers with routes mainly in the easy grades. The walk to the crag provides fantastic views of the Mont Blanc Massif and makes this a very worthwhile day out despite the low number of routes.

 

  Directions

 

From Chamonix take the road to Argentiere, just after Tre les champs or 2.5km from Argentiere there is a car park on the left. Park here and then take the footpath to "Lac Blanc". After 50mins of walking its hard to miss the towers.
