Ski touring
We meet at 9am in Bourg-Saint-Bernard (1,918 m), Switzerland, a charming Alpine village just below the Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard. After a briefing with your guide and a gear check, we begin our first hike, which includes a diversion through the surrounding valleys to immerse ourselves in the area's stunning scenery. We'll take our packs to the refuge so that we're free of them for the rest of the day.
At the end of the day, we reach the Plan du Jeu refuge (1990 m), a warm and historic refuge, where we spend the night.
After a hearty breakfast, we'll set off to climb one of the many passes or summits that are a must-see in the region. These include the Col de Bastillon and Mont Fourchon. These two routes, which can include variations depending on the level of the group, offer varied landscapes and spectacular views of the Swiss and Italian Alps.
Once at the summit, we enjoy a breathtaking view before descending in exceptional powder to the refuge, where a convivial evening and a comforting dinner await us.
Today we set off towards the Col de Barasson (2,681 m) or equivalent. This versatile route passes through a variety of landscapes and offers spectacular views of the surrounding peaks, including the majestic Grand Combin.
Once at the summit, we enjoy the breathtaking views before descending into the powder snow. The descent ends in Bourg-Saint-Bernard, before we head back to the refuge for a final convivial evening and a good meal in a warm atmosphere.
On our final day, we'll be tackling the Pointe de Moline (3032m), a rugged route that will take us to an altitude of 3000m. The climb is gradual and adaptable depending on your level of fitness, with some slightly more technical sections on the approach to the summit. It's the perfect route to end the week on a high note with a final lesson before heading back down to the virgin powder.
After this great day's effort, we head back down to Bourg-Saint-Bernard for the end of the expedition.
Your guide, with his expertise, will be able to adapt the itinerary if necessary to ensure an optimal and safe experience.
Passionate about the mountains, I discovered climbing in the Bouches-du-Rhône before diving into ski touring in the Ecrins. Since then, I've explored various mountain ranges, from Mont Blanc to Dévoluy, in search of pleasure and sharing. For me, the mountains are all about human adventure and working together on projects.
