If there's one hike you'll be familiar with even before coming to the Aravis, it's the Trou de la mouche! Its name is intriguing: it's a passage in the rock, a rocky arch, under which you can pass from one Aravis combe to another.
This becomes the climax of a loop that can be done in either direction. Of course, everyone has good arguments for preferring one route to the other... You can make up your own mind!
With a bit of luck, a few chamois will be galloping in the distance. Unlike the other peaks in the Aravis, Mont Blanc is not visible from the hole. You'll have to admire it from the Paccaly ridge.
Level: Red. For good hikers. Ascent and descent 1000m
For more detailed information guide service office hours at the Tourism Office (Maison du Tourisme) are from 6 PM to 7 PM, in July and August.
Departure 7:30 am, return 1 pm. No picnic, just a few bars and water, at an athletic pace so you can get home early and enjoy the afternoon to the full.
