This 21km loop is a true showcase of the rugged beauty of Frontenac Provincial Park. The route navigates the iconic Canadian Shield landscape, winding through dense forests, past granite outcrops, and alongside deep, glacial-carved lakes. The course follows a series of interconnected trails, including segments of the Tetsmine Lake Loop, Gibson Lake Loop, Hemlock Lake Loop, Little Clear Lake Loop, and Little Salmon Lake Loop.

The Dent Blanche is a giant pyramid of rock and ice, its imposing form towering over the head of the Val d'Hérens. Intimidating in its steepness, it remains a mountain of singular beauty, a truly majestic presence in the Valais Alps.

In general the ascent is done in two days, because of the total elevation gain (2600 m) and the quite long technical section up and along the ridge (850 m of elevation gain) which takes most rope teams between 3-5 hours up and about the same time back down to the hut.
