With an early start on the Grands Montets cablecar, we ski down to the Argentière Glacier, then up the gentle, but spectacular Argentière Glacier. The hut is located on the true right bank of the glacier about 50 meters above the level of the ice.

This is a relatively easy day and a good way to get accustomed to the altitude. We'll have time to either practice skills, such as avalanche transceiver use or crevasse rescue, or to tour further up the Glacier des Améthystes.
