The snow is receding more and more, but not everything is practicable.
Here is a short but not exhaustive list of accessible hikes (including those that were not accessible at the time of our last updates):
Prarion, Aiguillette des Houches, refuge de Bellachat, Planpraz, Charlanon, Flégère, Grand Balcon Sud (attention Planpraz and Flégère lifts closed until June 11th), lacs des Chéserys, refuge de la Pierre à Bérard, refuge de Loriaz, Aiguillette des Posettes, Peclerey, Tête de Prapator, Montenvers via Caillet (buvette open every day for drinks and then for lunch and dinner from June 1st) or les Mottets (reminder: the moraine path is closed, you have to go by the “viaduct” path), Blaitière alpage and then Signal Forbes (access from Montenvers closed until June 11th, access possible from the the start of the Grand Balcon Nord), Plan de l'aiguille by Grand Bois, chalet des Pyramides. ..
You will still have to wait for :

as well as treks of several days (tour des Fiz, tour des aiguilles Rouges, tour du Mont Blanc).
