How to reach the tourist office?
From 01/06 to 30/09.
Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
This stage has a high-mountain character, with equipped passages and magnificent panoramic views: Cirque du Bout du Monde, Pointe Rousse, Lac de la Vogealle, the Dents Blanches, the Pointe de Bostan.
From the Bostan-Tornay refuge, head up the Combe des Verdets towards the Col de Bostan. You cross a mineral landscape, passing Lac de Verdets on your right. At the Col de Bostan, you have 2 options: the Swiss part of the Dents blanches or our French route to the refuge de la Vogealle. At the pass, pass the Golette de l'Oule, then the chain-equipped Pas du Taureau via the Col du Taureau. Take care. Take a right-hand path to the Folly refuge, reach a plateau and follow a grassy ridge down into the Combe de Praz Riant. Go to "la Combe aux Puaires". Leave the Refuge de Folly and head for the Refuge de la Vogealle, via the lake of the same name, following its left bank.

Located in the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval nature reserve, this refuge is accessible in 3-4 hours of walking from the Fer-à-Cheval cirque.
The tour of the Dents Blanches is a challenging route in the wilderness, suitable for expert walkers who know how to find their bearings in the mountains: several of the technical sections are more like high-mountain hiking.
