These mountains face the Mont-Blanc but some are not well known. This
toponeige covers the French-Swiss mountainous area between the Arve valley,
the Rhône river and lake Leman (lake Geneva).
Covered in this guidebook : the Aiguilles-Rouges and the Perrons ; the Hautes
Alpes Calcaires (with the Dents-du-Midi) ; the Giffre basin and the Fiz range
191 primary routes (and 350 variations) provide an amazing variety of terrain
from the gentler summits in the northwest, well suited for discovering the
mountains in the winter, whether on skis or snowshoes, and the more jagged,
often glaciated, Hautes-Alpes-Calcaires to the southeast
