On Sunday September 20, if the weather is ok, i’ll organize a hike to Les Rognes in the heights of Nid d’Aigle, on the Mont Blanc trail.
The trail passes nearby the Glacier de Bionnassay and arrives at Nid d'Aigle (last train stop of Mont Blanc) and continue to Cabane des Rognes 2768 m.
We start from Crozat car park (Bionnasay- St. Gervais). Through the Planet chalets and the moraine of the Bionnassay glacier that we overlook, we arrive at the passage equipped by cable and ladders. We arrive at the Nid d’ Eagle station. From there we continue on Mont Blanc trail toward Tête Rousse, until Cabane des Rognes...
Down by same way.
