Description

Ski touring in Clarée: Ski touring stay with guide in Névache Level 3

Skiing in unspoiled nature with no ski lifts in sight, sliding on virgin snow under an azure blue sky, descending dream slopes where no one has skied... has this been your dream for a long time? Then come and make it come true in Névache, under the sun of the Hautes-Alpes, in a protected valley known for its excellent snow cover.
During this Ski Touring stay, we offer you five days of nature skiing in a preserved valley, known for its quality of snow and its sunshine, thanks to its location north of the Southern Alps. The variety and quantity of possible routes allow you to seek out the best conditions and explore new horizons every day, accompanied by a high mountain guide.

PROGRAM :

• Sunday : Welcome and installation
  Meet in the afternoon at the Chalet d'en Hô in Névache, welcome and information meeting in the evening.
• Monday : Buffère Valley and Echaillon Ridge (2571 m)
  Short transfer by minibus (5 minutes) to Ville-Haute (1600 m), to get our legs going by climbing the Haute-Vallée trail. We follow the trail that leads to the Buffère refuge to reach this hanging valley with a relief that is ideal for ski touring, then we reach the Echaillon ridge and descend on the best slope.
• Tuesday : Croix Carail (2369 m)
  Ski departure from the edge of the Clarée, at an altitude of 1580 meters, a few minutes from the hotel. A day to review the basics of progression with hiking equipment and the use of safety equipment. An 800 meter climb that goes up into the larch forest, before coming out on a small summit that opens up a view of the valley.
• Wednesday : Vallon du Creuzet and Lenlon crest (2508 m)
  We set off to explore another wild valley from the Pont des Armands. We must first leave the pine forest to reach a small valley at the foot of Roche Gauthier (2749 m) and the ridges of the Cime des Ruines. We can reach the Lenlon fort perched on its ridge by a final step.
• Thursday : Buffère valley and Baude ridge (2576 m), then crossing to the Chardonnet refuge.
  Short transfer by minibus (5 minutes) to Ville-Haute (1600 m), to get our legs going by climbing the Haute-Vallée track. We follow the trail that leads to the Buffère refuge to reach this suspended valley then climb up to the Baude ridge which separates us from the Chardonnet valley. After the descent, we put our skins back on to reach the Chardonnet refuge.
  Night at the shelter.
• Friday : Pointe du demi (2817m) or summit of Pic Ombiére (2832m)
  After the pleasure of breakfast in the mountains, we set off again into the valley on a gentle slope towards one of the peaks depending on the conditions of the day to make the most of this last day.
  Back at the refuge, we collect our things before going back down into the valley.
