Itinerary

Day 1 - Ski Touring Introduction at Saint Rhemy en Bosses

We meet in Saint Rhemy en Bosses (AO) for a material check and briefing. We transfer to our start point and review the use of safety equipment (ARTVA, shovel, probe) before ascending 1,165 meters uphill to Costa dei Serena at 2,785m. Our path takes us through diverse terrains, always in pursuit of the best snow for descent. We end the day with a meal at the Prosciutteria di Sous le Bosses, enjoying local cuisine. We spend the night in a cozy hotel or B&B in the Aosta Valley.

Day 2 - Exploring Gran San Bernardo Pass

We begin with a short car transfer, then ski towards the Gran San Bernardo Pass. The journey includes open slopes, panoramic views, exciting traverses, and serene forests, leading us to the Hospice du Grand Saint Bernard. After enjoying the historic site, we ski down and return to our Aosta Valley accommodation for the night.

Day 3 - Adventure to Colle di Saint Rhemy

We head towards the secluded Colle di Saint Rhemy, embracing the wilderness. Reaching the pass, we ski down to discover a pristine valley and make our way through fresh powder to Saint Rhemy en Bosses, where we enjoy local specialties. We return to our hotel/B&B in the Aosta Valley for relaxation.

Day 4 - Mont Flassin Ski Tour

We tackle Mont Flassin (2,757m), a route known for good snow conditions. Our ascent goes through clearings and small forests, ending just below the summit for the final walk up, possibly using crampons.
