Three days of immersion in altitude

Need to escape, take a good dose of fresh air for 3 days? With its 4000 accessible, the peaks of Mont Rose are there for that! Glacial atmosphere, imposing faces, everything is there, we are in Monterosa. The proposed stay departs from the bottom of the Champoluc valley for a gentle acclimation through the Val d'Aosta alpine pastures. During these 3 days of mountaineering we will review the basics of cramping and safety techniques in the mountains before setting off to attack the 4000m emblematic Mont Rose. An accessible and exotic course for mountain lovers
