Join one of the IFMGA-certified guides in the Peakshunter team on this ski touring trip in the Grand Saint Bernard for 3 days. Plan with them your ideal itinerary from all the proposed options!

3 Days

Jan - Apr, Dec

Description

At the border between Switzerland and Italy, the Grand Saint Bernard pass is indeed an amazing location for ski touring. Join me in this 3-day trip and let's explore this wonderful setting.

I propose two different programs for you to decide. In fact, the place where we decide to spend the night can shape our trip. If you prefer to spend the nights in a village, we can make Saint Rhémy en Bosses our base. Then each day we will make a different ascent. For example, we can go to the Serena pass, the Grand Saint Bernard pass, Mount Fourchon, Costa Serena, Costa Corleans, Mount Flassin, and there are even more options!

Another option is to spend a night in the famous Grand Saint Bernard hospice. Check out the detailed program below.

I find this trip very special because: – It's a very isolated itinerary, – There are always great snow conditions, – It's perfect for people who enjoy adventures away from the crowds, since it's not touristic.

Did you find this program interesting? Then please contact me and let's set a date! Another, quite peculiar, ski touring trip that I really like is in Mount Etna, check it out!
