TIGNES Haute Maurienne, hut to hut ski-tour

SKI-TOURING / BACKCOUNTRY SKIING

This is an intermediate hut to hut ski-tour, in which we live in altitude huts amid glacier peaks. We will skin up and ski some high passes and big glacier summits of the Eastern and central Vanoise mountains, skiing for example the glacier peaks of Chasseforêt, Dôme de l’Arpont, the pointe de la Sana (3 436 m) from the Femma hut, la pointe de Méan Martin (3330 m)

We will enjoy big off-piste ski runs in virgin and protected spaces of the national Vanoise Park.

 This ski-tour includes A LOT OF SKIING and is accessible to any experienced ski-touring skier or off-piste skier.   Need to be also compulsorily in good physical condition.

Vanoise is probably one of the hugest, wildest and most beautiful wilderness areas in Europe. To the ski tourer and mountaineer, it’s a remote paradise!

Here is a 6 day-tour, an intensive and committed ski-touring trip with big ascents and ‘out-there’ descents, with nights in some of the most stunning huts of the Alps like the refuge Col de la Vanoise at  the bottom of the huge highest peak of La Vanoise, the Grande Casse (alti 3852 m)!

This tour takes place in the heart of La Vanoise in the crown of the Vanoise national park. It is ideal for experienced ski tourers and mountaineers l

This ski-tour includes A LOT OF SKIING and is accessible to very experienced ski-touring skiers.  Need to be also compulsorily in good physical condition.
