Description

Ascent of the teeth of Lanfon from the chalet de l'Aulp

Hike from the Chalet de l'Aulp in Montmin in a loop. 

Be careful, the ascent of the teeth of Lanfon is quite aerial. 

The itinerary is a ridge climb at medium altitude, similar to a rando-escalade. With a leader who knows the techniques of belaying in progression, the route lends itself well to the initiation of a second in a beautiful atmosphere and with a little emptiness. It offers an exceptional view of Annecy, its lake, the Aravis mountains and the Mont Blanc in the distance.
