Period
– This tour is planned during summer, from June to September.
– However, rather at the beginning of the season because with the melting of the snow, the itinerary is less pleasant.
– The Glacier Blanc refuge is guarded until middle of September. Out of these dates, you would have to make yourself your meals, with a stove, by taking the food to the refuge.
