  2. Day 1: Chamonix – Bourg St Pierre – Hospice du Grand St Bernard (+ 550 m)Departure from Chamonix will be at 8am – your guide will drive the group to Bourg St Pierre – the journey is about 1h30. We will start skinning to the Hospice from the parking lot at the entrance of the St Bernard Tunnel. On arrival at the hospice, we drop off our packs, then after drinking the “welcome tea” (a thousand year old tradition), we head for either one of the small summits located nearby, the Grande Chenalette or the Col de Barasson. Dinner and night at the hospice.
  3. Day 2: Mont Fourchon (2902m) – Cabane du Plan Du Jeu (2081M) – (+ 800m)A gentle start today for this great classic. Crossing the Italian border, then an obvious climb to this magnificent summit, Mont Fourchon, a border lookout with a view of the Mont Blanc peaks. After a long descent followed by very short ascent, we reach our next refuge, where we spend the night. Food is great here, composed of good local products.
  4. Day 3: Monts Telliers (2951m) – (+ 950m) – return to ChamonixToday starts with a short ski descent. We will have the option to leave some stuff in our vehicle to lighten the bags. The ascent to the Monts Telliers starts gently then it becomes progressively steeper until we reach the foot of the summit which we bootpack to the top. The view are amazing – fabulous panorama on the big summits of the Valais including the Mont Vélan and the Grand Combin. The well deserved ski descent is long and playful all the way to the parking.We will return to Chamonix in the afternoon.
