What is the best viewpoint on Mont Blanc? Without a doubt, it is the infamous Refuge de Lac Blanc or the bivouac spot at Lacs des Chéserys. Not only is it part of the Tour du Mont Blanc. It is also a great day hike from the Chamonix valley that you can complete in multiple ways. In my opinion, the best way to do it is as a one night sunset-sunrise bivouac mission.

In this video you can relive my experience with me + as a UIMLA International Mountain Leader I can give you some advice on how to do it and what to think of before heading out.
