Hiking Cascade du Dard in Chamonix, France

Distance: 5 km / 3 mile loop
Start: Station inférieure du téléphérique de l’Aiguille du Midi
Finish: Station inférieure du téléphérique de l’Aiguille du Midi
Elevation gain: 373 m / 1,225 ft
Parking: Parking du Grepon

This is a great first hike to do in Chamonix. It is close to town, short, and easy. I recommend doing the loop clockwise to pass both the water fall and the buvette Cascade du Dard on the way down for a tasty treat and to enjoy the cool breeze coming off the waterfall.
