The Chemin des Villages walk
Continue along the Chemin Vert to Les Bossons, to reach Chamonix via the Versant Nord, then return to the Versant Sud via the path along the Arve.
This path for pedestrians and cyclists allows you to cross the village without using the expressway.
From the skating rink, go up Chemin des Longues, then turn left onto Chemin de la Tannuaz. Follow the Griaz road up to Chemin des Fleurs. Cross over to chemin du Platon, then downhill a few meters on route des Granges before forking right onto chemin Théobalde Couttet. Take the footbridge and follow the path to the hamlet of Pont. Follow the signs for Chemin des Villages / Taconnaz. Total distance: approx. 2.5km.
From Taconnaz, you can join another itinerary to extend your walk to Les Bossons, then to Les Gaillands, and finally to the entrance to Chamonix.
