Lac Blanc via Grand Balcon Sud

Located at 2,352m within the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve, Lac Blanc is one of the most famous alpine lakes in the Haute-Savoie. The trail offers a front-row panoramic view of the complete Mont Blanc massif, including the Aiguille du Midi and the Mer de Glace. Starting from the La Flégère cable car station above Les Praz, hikers traverse the Grand Balcon Sud before ascending a series of rocky paths and assisted sections with metal ladders to reach the lake and its refuge. The route is iconic for its mirror-like reflections of the high glaciers and rugged red rock scenery. Note: Compiled from public sources — not a field report.

The Three Capes Track is a 48km point-to-point trekking route within Tasman National Park, Tasmania. Starting at the Port Arthur Historic Site with a marine transfer across the bay to Denmans Cove, the route traverses the high sea cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula. The track is highly engineered, featuring wide gravel paths and boardwalks that provide safe access to vertical dolerite columns reaching 300 meters above the Southern Ocean. Management is handled by the Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service, with a regulated north-to-south flow. The route transitions through diverse environments including coastal heathland, dry sclerophyll forest, and temperate rainforest.
