Val Thorens-Haute Maurienne, glaciers’ hut to hut tour

SKI-TOURING / BACKCOUNTRY SKIING

Vanoise is probably one of the wildest and most beautiful wilderness areas in Europe, a remote paradise for hiking and ski-tours!Six days of intensive ski-mountaineering crammed with big ascents and ‘out-there’ descents plus at least one night in one of the most stunning huts in the Alps! This tour is the jewel in the crown of the Vanoise area and is ideal for experienced ski tourers and mountaineers looking for a challenging yet highly rewarding week.

This is a rather difficult and very committed hut to hut ski-tour, in which we will skin up and ski some high passes and big glacier summits of the Eastern and central Vanoise range. We will ascend and ski down for example the summits of Gébroulaz pass (col) and peak, the big Dôme de Chasseforêt, the Réchasse peak, sometimes even the Méan Martin, and Pointe de la Sana before skiing down to Val d’Isère.. We will also enjoy the pleasure of off-piste skiing in virgin and protected spaces.

 This ski-tour, accessible to very experienced ski-touring skiers, includes a lot of skiing  .  Need to be also compulsorily in good physical condition.

Key points of this week ski-tour
• We will do a lot of skiing, much more on the famous Chamonix-Zermatt HAUTE ROUTE!!
A drop in the heart of the massifs of Vanoise and Gran Paradiso (4061 m), several summits and glacier passes of more than 3 000 m.

With magnificent panoramas of glaciers in the scenery of the mythical Matterhorn (Cervin) and Mont Blanc 4810 m.
