Alpine Touring | Crossing of the Trento Region
Glaciers and granite mountains: the Trento region is one of the coolest mountain sports paradises in Switzerland!
The Trient area in the Lower Valais is part of the Chamonix massif and is known for its perfect reddish granite. So we will set off together across the glaciers to the cool peaks of the Trient massif. Thanks to the cable car from Champex-Lac, the area is easily accessible. We will start the tour days with a leisurely climbing day around the Orny Hut and then spend the night in a different corner of the Trient Massif each day. So the first tour leads us over the Aiguilles du Tour or the Aiguille de Purtscheller, two cool scrambling mountains, to the Refuge Albert 1er. We continue on a firn and ice tour via the Petite Fourche and the Tête Blanche to the bivouac Envers des Dorées. On the last day, we do a short but grandiose tour in the granite before we descend into the valley and return home full of beautiful memories and impressions.
