The Aiguille de Varan is one of the main peaks of the Sallanches valley, offering a magnificent view of the Mont Blanc Massif on one side and the Aravis Massif on the other. Given the difficulty, I propose not to climb it, but to walk to the Chalets and Refuge de Varan located at its base. The chalets can be reached either from the Plateau d’Assy (red track on the map) or from the Bay-le-Coudray car park (blue track on the map). Personally, I prefer the Coudray variant because it is much more pleasant than the Plateau d’Assy route, which offers few views of the surrounding mountains.
