Description
I propose you to leave for two days of snowshoeing at the gateway of the Beaufortain massif in Savoie.
This route that starts in the beautiful valley of Naves will make you reach the summit of Grand Crétet (2291 meters of altitude) the and the Tufs Blancs pass. You will spend the night in a hut to enjoy an unforgettable experience and a real mountain atmosphere, in the heart of the Tarentaise valley.
Departures for this outing are on request throughout the winter and early spring: it's up to you to choose your dates!
For gourmets, I also offer snowshoeing and igloo fondue outings in Méribel during the winter.
And if you like snowy treks, I propose other magnificent itineraries in the region:
- two days of snowshoeing around the Aiguille du Fruit in Vanoise,
- a four-day snowshoeing trek in Vanoise around the Pointe de la Sana.
Program
D1: Snowshoe hike to the Nant du Beurre refuge.
This first day is an opportunity to hike up the magnificent, wide Naves valley on snowshoes. Perhaps we'll take the time to take a detour to gain even more height and enjoy the incredible panorama on the surrounding peaks.
Overnight at the Nant du Beurre communal hut.
D2: Ascent of Grand Crétet and crossing of the Tufs Blancs pass.
After an evening and a night immersed in the mountains, we resume our snowshoe trekking to the summit of Grand Crétet at 2291 meters, before crossing over to the Col des Tufs Blancs.
We make the most of the beauty of the scenery and the views over the mountains that surround us, before descending back to the village of Naves and returning to our cars.
