3-day ski tour in the Val di Rhemes in the Aosta Valley - Ski touring in Italy.
Located in the heart of the Grand Paradis National Park, on the Italian side of Haute Tarentaise, the Val de Rhêmes is a true haven for ski touring. From Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, the narrow valley gradually opens up to reveal vast slopes leading to peaks rising between 3,000 and 3,500 meters in altitude, accessible with skis on.

Day by day

- Day 1: Transfer from Chamonix to Val di Rhêmes via the Mont Blanc tunnel. We put on our skis at the exit from the village of Rhêmes Notre Dame (1750m). Next comes the climb up the valley to the Benevolo hut (2280m) where we stop to eat and lighten our packs. We finish off the day with the ascent of the Pointe Lavassey (2772m). Descent and first night in hut.Vertical ascent: 1000m / Vertical descent: 500m
- Day 2: Round-trip to the Pointe Calabre (3445m). Having bypassed the canyon of the Dora torrent, we ascend alongside the impressive east face of the Pointe Parei (3387m). The route now continues over the Soches glacier and a gentle slope to the summit. Lying on the border between Italy and France, the views here are superb: over the Gran Paradiso Massif on the Italian side, and the Vanoise Massif on the French side. Descent via the same route and second night in hut.Vertical ascent: 1065m / Vertical descent: 1065m

We descend via the magnificent, untouched valley on the northern side of the Gran Vaudala. We ski to the village of Thumel, where we rejoin our route of ascent from the first day. All we need to do from here is enjoy the ski back to the car park. Transfer to Chamonix, which we reach by mid-afternoon.Vertical ascent: 995m / Vertical descent: 995m
