Hiking the Mer du Glace and Le Refuge Couvercle
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 8:06 am
I am not a climber but a hiker.I have hiked up to lac blanc and along Le Grand Balcon Nord.This visit i want to do something more exciting.I am looking for info to see how one goes about hiking up to the Refuge Couvercle from Montenvers?
Also is it possible to hike down the mer du glace from the Aiguiile Du Midi tram station?
I will be in Chamonix in early september.
Also how are the chamonix campsites?Is it noisy and is there a bathroom/shower facility there or anywhere in Chamonix?I would rather spend my money on food than hotels.
Thanks for whatever advice you can share.
