After a night spent at the foot of the Grande Dixence dam, you first need to climb to get back to the level of Lac des Dix. You can then take a balcony path for about 7 kilometers, flat and overlooking the lake. The views are grandiose, on what is the most imposing artificial reservoir in Switzerland.
After this respite, the route climbs again over more than 500 meters to reach the Col de Riedmatten (2,919 m), which allows you to get a little closer to Mont Blanc de Cheilon.
Finally, the path gradually descends towards Arolla to close this second stage.
