Start from the Midi lift. Walk over the glacier to Pointe Lachenal or straight to Laurence / Cosmique. Usually good tracks available.
Laurence and Lachenal traverse are both quite mellow and uninteresting as a climb, but the location is superb! These three done together gives you a long day out with relatively little vertical meters. Just be aware that the Cosmiques traverse might be really crowded in the afternoon. Taking the first lift and heading straight to Cosmiques traverse might be better option in many situations…
Walk down from Midi lift Still walking down from Midi. Mont Blanc du Tacul middle of the picture. Pointte Lachenal left of Tacul middle of the picture. Scrambling at the start of Cosmiques. Approaching the 4a climbing section. Climbers on it at the middle of the picture. Almost back to Midi.
