  • Note on the History of the Innominata Face of Mont Blanc De Courmayeur
    1 34 HISTORY OF THE INNOMINATA FACE them difficult but solved the problem by the most exposed, airy and exhilarating ice-climb I ever did. I reckon sixteen essentially different ways to Mont Blanc. I wish I had done them all ! NOTE ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS FIG. 1. This was taken from the inner end of Col Eccles in 1921 during the ascent of Mont Blanc by Eccles' route. Pie Eccles is seen high on the right, and the top of the Aiguille Noite de Peteret just shows over the left flank of the Pie. FIG. 2. This was taken from the lnnominata face in 1919 during a halt at 13.30 on the crest of the branch rib. The skyline shows the Aiguille Blanche de Peteret on the extreme left (a snow cap), with Punta Gugliermina at the right end of what appears to be a level summit ridge but really descends steeply. On the right of the deep gap is the Aiguille Noire de Peteret with the middle section of the Fresney glacier below it. The snow-sprinkled rock mass in the right lower corner is Pie Eccles a bird's eye view. FIG. 3. This was taken at the same time as Fig. 2, with which it joins. Pie Eccles is again seen, in the left lower corner. To the right of it, in the middle of the view, is a n ear part of the branch rib, and above that is seen a bird's view of the Punta lnnominata with the Aiguille Joseph Croux further off to the left.

The ski resorts of Evian region, Abondance valley and Morgins offer around 100 kilometers of marked trails to discover the winter nature in all its beauty and diversity. These itineraries, some of which cross the Franco-Swiss border, have been designed to cater for as many persons as possible, ranging from short, one-hour walks to more rugged 4 to 5 hour hikes. Whatever your level, snowshoe rambles are an ideal and enjoyable way to share special moments with family or friends in the heart of the Alps. These beautiful trails in the forest or in uncovered areas are accessible to everyone - on condition that you have adequate equipment, such as appropriate clothing and protection from the sun and snow.

  • Grand Combin Xxx July, 2019
    Grand Combin 4314 Meters 22-23 July 2019 Guides: Rütschi Pollinger and Thomi Zumtaugwald Situated east of the Mont Blanc massif, west of the Matterhorn, north of Aosta and south of the Rhone, Grand Combin is not among the most prominent, but is certainly one of the more remote peaks on the Swiss- Italian border. We accessed the area from the St. Bernard Pass road. After you turn off at Bourg St. Pierre and head into the countryside, it’s a long hike through winding valleys to get to the hut, Cabane de Valsorey. Our hut-climb day is very hot. We and our guides have driven from the Saas Valley in 2 cars. There is very little roadside parking. Rütschi and Thomi park their car in a farmyard, right at the trailhead. Here’s JC setting off above the farm. The walk from our parking spot at 1850 m to the hut at 3037 m takes about 4 hours. The whole 6.5 km are in unrelenting sun. We allow ourselves one short snack break and a longer lunch break just 45 minutes from the hut. Our Grand Combin tour tomorrow will include two separate 4000 m peaks, connected by a snow ridge. Reaching the first peak - just visible under the cloud here - requires a long stretch of rock climbing, some on bad and some on good rock. You can see the rock section, rising sharply from left to right; the hut is above us to the left. And here is the whole tour! We will leave the hut (not visible), climb the Arete du Meitin to the first peak (Combin de Valsorey, 4184 m), and finally the steep snow ridge to the second peak (Combin de Grafeniere, 4314 m).

  • Beyond the Ski-Lift R
    47. 0380 BEYOND THE SKI-LIFT R. T. SOUTHALL Ski-ing, which was originally a means of travelling in the mountains in winter, has become for almost all English people a mechanical ascent, and a dashing descent of an icy piste. Round and round. Up and down. The roundabout. Collisions are narrowly avoided at the tricky corners. Bodies pile up in the polished gullies. Anything less like the solitude of the great hills is hard to imagine. Of all the famous tourist areas the Parsenn is the most free from this criticism and perhaps it was after a holiday spent there that my wife and I first began to dream of touring; of crossing ranges and climbing peaks. For the Swiss and Austrians the ski- tour round about Easter time is the crown of the season's ski-ing. But it is not an impossibility for the British skier if he is prepared to be among the last arrivals at the huts each afternoon. We had learnt to ski with rucksacks at such places as the Tigia Hut above Reams in the Oberhalbstein, an excellent centre for Spring excursions. Unlike most Swiss Alpine Club huts, meals are provided. Food for several days adds very considerably to the weight you must manage, and it was partly because we did not feel equal to this that we made our first tour in Austria where most of the huts are fully open, with catering, by the middle of March. That was in 1953. We selected the Oetztal tour, one of the finest in Europe, though we could only give eight days to what really requires a fortnight if its glories are to be fully appreciated.
