Lovely mixed hike through trees, on ridges and between the Argentière and Le Tour glaciers. We missed the beginning of the ascent towards Bel de Lachat, it's not very obvious. We turned back and from then on there are no signs, just steep paths and cairns to follow. Some scrambling at the top which makes it feel very adventurous! We stopped a lot to look at the beautiful views. (Messed up and forgot to take it off pause on the descent, but you get the idea).
