Poster: A snowHead
|
I've got a two week trip to Tignes in March. If possible it would be nice to fit in some touring. Ideally a two day tour with a hut stop but if not a good day tour or two. Can anyone suggest anything or point me to some useful information? Thanks

You will probably need to get a few more people together to make it worthwhile, as there are not many trips organised by the schools 'in the hope of'. However, keep an eye on Flossie's website here: http://www.freefloski.com/. She occasionally does trips like this. Otherwise a trip to the Bureau de Guides may be of assistance: http://www.guides-montagne-tignes.com/
If that looks a bit daunting go to Mountain Attitude in Rue de la Poste and ask for Ludo, he seems to have a lot of contacts in the 'ski rando' world. He speaks good English (especially if you buy an airbag and touring boots of him in one season!).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@altis, Thanks, that's very helpful and interesting. My preference would be to link up with similarly experienced skiers for an unguided 1 or 2 day trip but would consider sharing cost of a guide if need be. I'll get the map and do some research, approx. how much climbing is involved in the route you suggest?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@altis, Thanks again for such a detailed and informative reply. Looks like first week for the huts will be second week of my holiday, will just need to find willing and able partners (my better half would enjoy a rest/easy day or two while I'm away). Maybe an idea to join the Eagle Ski Club (been thinking of doing so)
