Those who went to pelvoux 3943 m in summer know how long is the way down. In skiing, it becomes a moment of happiness!
mont pelvoux, another almost 4000 m, is one of the main ecrins range Summit
When we are going down by foot, during summer, we are dreaming to have skis on feet... well it is possible!
It is truly "ski mountaineering". Not very difficult to achieve this ascension, but we are often roped and use ice axe and crampons.
2400 m of pure happiness for the descent! the route is logical and varied: ice cap, parts in the middle of the crevasses, steep corridor.
Unforgettable!
