In a nutshell
New, unusual, with long, low-tech ski descents and peaks at 3000 m. This raid is the perfect excuse to cast off and roam the snow-covered mountains.
Roadbook
Juggling France and Italy, this unusual haute route will take you from the Lac de Bissorte to the Lac du Mont Cenis in just five days, all on a wild route with varied terrain and landscapes from the Cerces to the Haute-Maurienne.
It will also be an opportunity to climb the 3000m peaks scattered along the route.
It’s your first roaming experience !
The highest point : 3180 m.
A veritable lookout point over the southern Alps, but also famous for the chapel built on the summit when it was Italian. Mont Thabor is the highest point of the trip, and also of the third day.
Now entirely French since the Second World War, it is the highest chapel in France.
