Hike to Le Dard waterfall

in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
Presentation

A waterfall near the entrance of the Mont-Blanc tunnel. In a lovely green setting, this is the last in a series of waterfalls whose swirling, sparkling waters are one of nature's wonders.

From the Grepon car park in Chamonix, on your right take Chemin la Fabrique de Sonnettes, which runs alongside Route Blanche. Cross the bridge over the mountain stream and head up to Les Molliasses. Continue past the forest track on your left. Turn right up to the road leading to the tunnel. Follow it for about 50 metres, then turn left to take a shortcut over a short distance. Continue upwards through the trees, ignoring the path from les Pelerins to your right.

Others itineraries are available from Les Pélerins or on the road leading to Tunnel du Mont-Blanc.

More information at the Tourist Office, the High Mountain Office, and in our hiking guide.
