Abseiling to the Cabenne des Ecrins

Central Switzerland

We are going on a very special tour, a hidden couloir in a well-known touring area. To get there and ski in this unique setting, we will abseil down a rock face, among other things. We enter the couloir with ice axes and crampons and strap on our skis. Then we ski down the 400 metre long couloir, which is only a few dozen metres wide in places, and enjoy the unique experience! We will be travelling in a small group, just two guests per mountain guide.
