We did the trip from Les Abrets a lot of years ago - and managed a variety of side-trips, too. We set off early and did the Mer de Glace, then on to Chamonix, and through the Mont Blanc tunnel, and then returned via the Col de Petit St Bernard, (snow, marmots and ski-lodges) and down into Albertville and then home. It was a long day, but very enjoyable.
Mind you, although we were in Italy you wouldn't know it, and going to Italy was not the main objective, we simply wanted to do the Mont Blanc Tunnel. This was a long time ago, and I think we paid either nothing, or very little to go through the tunnel. When we were on the Col at the top there was six feet of snow piled up at the sides of the road (in June)!
We chose a wet day, and when we got to the Italian side we came out in brilliant sunshine - like a different day, not just a different country!
