Stage 3

Les Chapieux to Refugio Elisabetta
5 hours · 14 km · 1182 m gain
A shorter day at around 5 hours, but the scenery makes up for it. From Les Chapieux you climb to Col de la Seigne, where Mont Blanc and the Val Veny glaciers open up in front of you - one of the best viewpoints on the whole circuit.
The descent on the Italian side brings you to Refugio Elisabetta above Lac Combal. If the weather holds, the evening light here is hard to beat.
