It is hard to find an easy ski tour in the Chamonix valley. I chose this one, for the incredible views of the Mont Blanc. Weather will be nice, but the day before was raining up to 1900...screwing up the snowpack (we would suffer most of the way down!)
We leave from a small town at around 1250m, already with great views.
The first 600-700 are throught the closed forest. So actually, not that much to see or enjoy.
From there, the forest opens up and the spectacle begins. Very photogenic day, with the recent snow full, the clear atmosphere and good light.
From 1900, we are totally above the forest.
We reached the summit together with a couple of other people. This part was actually quite good.
Lucy and the summit we come from. The rain of the days before did not damage this part, and actually was quite good.
Back to this cabin a bit below 1900m...from there on, we entered the forest and was not possible to ski. Most of us put the skis in the backpack and went down on foot. The path was very narrow and a group with snowshoes created such a deep mark in the snow, that was later frozen by the night rain....that was literally not possible ski down.
Back to the car...beautiful day, despite carrying the skis down for 600m.
