Ski Touring Difficult
This is a popular ski touring route which is generally considered to be difficult. It's extremely remote, it features high exposure (e3) and is typically done between March and June. From a low point of 1.5 km to the maximum altitude of 3.9 km, the route covers 22 km, 753 vertical metres of ascent and 2441 vertical metres of descent. It's graded 2.3 and Labande grade 3. You'll need rope, skins, ice axe, crampons and glacier kit to complete it safely.
Our high starting point allows a relatively small amount of skinning followed by a large descent.
