What to Expect
THE PLAN!
Join us for two days of ski touring around Chamonix, with a night in a mountain hut.
We’ll aim for around 700 metres of ascent each day, choosing routes where we can find good snow and fun descents.
Day 1: Into the Mountains
Meeting in Chamonix
We meet in the morning, get to know each other and go through the plan and the weather and snow conditions for the weekend.
Skinning up
We head out and start the climb at a steady pace, with around 700 metres of ascent. We’ll learn about route choice, pacing and reading the snow along the way.
We’ll stop for a picnic outside, taking our time to enjoy the view before continuing.
The descent
We’ll choose the best snow we can find and enjoy a fun descent, then make our way to the hut.
Evening: dinner at the hut
We’ll settle in, share dinner together and talk through the day and the plan for tomorrow. A simple, cosy evening surrounded by the mountains.
Day 2: One More Climb
Breakfast & early start
After breakfast at the hut, we pack up and head out again, with another 700 metres or so of ascent.
Lunch out on the mountain
Another picnic stop to refuel before the final descent.
The final descent
We’ll make the most of the conditions with one last fun run, then head back down to the valley.
Back in Chamonix
A well-deserved drink and some good food together before heading home :(
Who is this for?
This camp is for:
Experience needed
There won’t be any glacier travel or sections requiring ropes or technical mountaineering.
You’ll need some ski touring experience, confidence skiing off-piste in varied snow, and the fitness to walk uphill for several hours with your overnight kit.
