Ski mountaineering day in Savoie Mont Blanc

Description

Throughout the winter, I propose outings combining ski touring and easy mountaineering.

During these days taking place in Savoie and Haute-Savoie, you will be riding on slopes or passages with inclines of up to 45 degrees, both up and down.

A good skiing technique is therefore necessary.

We will also cover the topics of multi-victim avalanche search (with an avalanche beacon), rescue organisation, and/or mapping/orientation with iPhiGéNie on your smartphone.

If you want to go further in the practice of winter mountaineering, I advise you to try ice climbing in the Aravis.

And if you are looking for ski-mountaineering itineraries and summits higher and more imposing, I recommend this raid around the Vélan and the Grand Combi in Valais.
