Description of the route

Take the mule track signposted 4 near the old chapel of Rhêmes-Saint-Georges, which goes up among the meadows and woods and intersects the road for Verrogne. Continue up, past the ruins of the hamlet of Traversa (1620 m), until you come to the dirt road, which you follow for a few hundred metres, until you see a path on the right that goes up to Champromenty (1819 m). Now follow the dirt road to reach Col du Mont Blanc. Continue along the right ridge, first over a wide track and then on the path, until you eventually reach the peak of Mont Paillasse.
