Tour du Mont Blanc — Stage 10: Les Houches → Les Contamines-Montjoie

From Les Houches climb to the Col de Voza (1,653 m), where the Tramway du Mont-Blanc rack railway crosses the pass, then descend into the green Val Montjoie through the hamlets of Bionnassay and La Villette to Les Contamines-Montjoie (1,167 m).

A linking stage between the loop’s two great French valleys. From the centre of Les Houches climb — on foot, or shortened by gondola — to the Col de Voza, where the rack rails of the Tramway du Mont-Blanc cut across the pass meadow: the little 1909 train still runs to the Nid d’Aigle, gateway to the French normal route up Mont Blanc. The descent crosses Bionnassay, a jewel of rural Savoyard architecture with its hanging glacier behind, then rolls gently through forest to Les Contamines-Montjoie, the last full-service village before the Bonhomme.
