One of the two variants of the 2nd day stage of the classic Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt. From the hut Cabane Trient, descend briefly northwards, then a short climb to the saddle Col Escandies (2793 m). Complicated terrain from the saddle down, often with crampons and skis on a backpack. Then a long descent along the north-east slope through the Val d´Árpette to Champex. From there by bus to Orsiéres, it is good to take the bus at 12:58, in Orsieres change to the connection to Bourg St-Pierre (2:00 p.m.).

La Luette je vděčná túra z chaty Cabane Dix. Po mírném svahu na ledovec Glacier de la Luette a v závěru po hřebenu na vrchol. Pouhých 500 výškových metrů od chaty může být lákadlem pro odpolední túru poté, když dorazíte brzo na chatu Dix.

The Haute Route Grande Lui variant from Chamonix to Zermatt, also known as the "Haute Route Pure", leads from La Fouly to the Grand Saint Bernard Pass. Overnight accommodation is provided in the hospice of the same name, under conditions similar to those in a mountain hut. The traverse of the slope below the Ferret lakes is particularly prone to avalanches.

The stage begins at the Cabane Tracuit with an ascent of the 4,000-meter peak Bishorn, which is considered relatively easy. After skiing back down to the Tracuit hut, the route continues with a descent over the Turtmanngletscher glacier. A subsequent climb over the Brunegggletscher glacier leads into a rocky corridor, which marks the beginning of the descent to the Turtmannhütte.
