The routes:
Breithorn (Cervinia) MSA
ascent time about 3.5 hours
The first 4000. This isn’t a technically difficult ascent but the altitude requires a certain amount of experience. It
is one of the most popular due to the 2100mt ski down to Cervinia. Also for snowboarders.
Col Passon (Chamonix) BSA
ascent time about 2.5 hours
The high mountain environment makes this a spectacular route plus the fact that the steep slopes climbed with
skins are followed by a gulley using crampons. But the best bit is the 1500mt descent on the other side with almost
always powder snow. A must for snowboarders.
Mont Colmet (Morgex) BS
ascent time 4 to 5 hours
This route, usually done in the spring, is in an area of wilderness with fairly demanding slopes. The secluded valley
has a breathtaking view of the whole of the Mont Blanc chain. Also for snowboarders.
Tour of the 3 Passes: Colle Chardonnet – Fenetre de Saleinaz – Fenetre du Tour (Chamonix) BSA
ascent time 1 hour the 1st day and 5 hours the 2nd day.
This is a classic and technical route lying in the Argentiere area of the Mont Blanc Massif. It alternates ascent and
descent, fi nishing with a spectacular descent down the Tour glacier. Also for snowboarders.
Grand Sertz (Cogne) BSA
ascent time 2.5 hours the 1st day and 3 hours the 2nd day
A demanding route in a secluded area usually done in the spring. It requires good technical ability in mountaineering
for the ascent that is followed with a wonderful and lengthy ski down on the other side. Suitable for
snowboarders but very long.
