Grand Balcon South is a great spot for many hikes, In the early morning and evening hours you may be lucky to meet ibex and chamois that show up as soon as many people have not yet left early in the morning or are on their way back to the valley from the afternoon on.

Photography Tips

For wildlife, it's always worth having your telephoto lens ready in the early morning or evening. Here it was especially beautiful because the top of Mont Blanc was illuminated in the background.
