Probably TOP 25 1:25.000 SAINT-GERVAIS-LES-BAINS/MASSIF DU MONT-BLANC (GPS), here. I've used it and have had no problems, it's very accurate

The Mont Blanc page has a list of the maps needed and where to purchase them . Go to Other Information in the Table of Contents.

Swissgeo has some free topographic maps on line. I just clicked on the map of Switzerland at Geneva and clicked my way south and then a bit east. It really zooms in quite nicely even distinguishing between Mont Blanc and Mt. B. de Courmayeaur.
