Programme
Our base camp, the Maljasset refuge, lies deep in this authentic valley... in short, the perfect recipe for 3 days of total immersion and a complete change of scenery!
For those with previous off-piste ski touring experience.
Day 1 - Le Crachet
- Meet at 8am at the Les Orres roundabout (322 D40 05200 Baratier).
If you don't have a car, meet at Embrun station at 7.40am (please send an email if you do). - First contact with your instructor - don't worry if he seems a bit gruff at first sight... in reality he's really nice!
- Presentation of the 3-day programme, equipment check and transfer to the Col de Vars, the starting point for the day's hike, for a gentle warm-up to check everyone's level and review (or see for some) the safety rules and techniques.
- Transfer to Maljasset - 1910 m
- Debriefing of the day and presentation of the next day's programme.
- Ascent: +/-900 m
Day 2 - Tour of the Aiguille Large
- A beautiful tour taking in the Mary valley, passing at the foot of the majestic Aiguille Pierre-André and finishing the descent in a beautiful larch forest.
- Debriefing of the day and presentation of the next day's programme.
- Ascent: +/-1100
D3- Pointe Basse de Mary
- We soon leave the route we took the day before to follow a parallel valley before reaching some slopes that straighten out and allow you to put all your conversion skills into practice! The summit, at an altitude of 3126 m, offers a wide panorama of the Southern Alps.
- Return to Embrun, debriefing the day and the trip.
