Infos & Booking
Description
I propose to take you to the foot or at the top of the majestic Mont Charvin, the pyramid of the Aravis massif, in a wild area renowned for the practice of ski touring.
On the border between the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, we will be skiing on little-frequented slopes, or on the summit itself, at an altitude of 2409 meters above sea level, depending on the group's technical level. This aesthetically and pleasing summit in the southern Aravis range offers a wide host of interesting itineraries for ski touring. This day in the mountains will also be an opportunity to enjoy an incredible view of the nearby Mont-Blanc massif, as well as the Bauges to the south and the Beaufortain to the east!
On this ski tour, we will cover an altitude difference of around 1100 metres, and the descent will be technically relatively easy.
Throughout the winter season, you can follow me on other ski touring outings in the massifs around Annecy, to discover Beauregard plateau, on Sulens mountain or on the summits of the Aravis massif. You can also extend the pleasure with these 3 days of ski touring and yoga in the Aravis.
