Day 1: Discover the equipment and safety, climb to the refuge and Mont Mort (850m D+). Departure near the tunnel for the Grand Saint Bernard hospice. An easy ascent on the snow-covered road marked out for ski touring. This incredible building, which will be our refuge and base camp during these 3 days of ski touring, is a unique place to take a step back. The ascent of Mont Mort is easy once you've put your rucksack down. Ascent for the day: 850m D+.
Dinner and overnight at the Hospice du Grand Saint Bernard.
Day 2: Ski touring to Mont Fourchon on the Italian side, down an easy couloir then back up to the hospice by the same route as the day before. We can do this with a light rucksack. Difference in altitude +/-800m
Dinner and overnight at the Hospice du Grand Saint Bernard.
Day 3: We head back south-west towards the Fenêtre de Ferret passes, taking the combe de Drône or the combe de l'A. We return to the hospice before skiing towards Bourg Saint Pierre. Difference in altitude + 700m and 1200m D- descent.
