SKI TOURING IN RHEMES VALLEY
Every skitourer should go at least once time Ski touring in Rhemes Valley! Since you climb up the down valley in both side there are very high rock walls that does’t make you think about a good valley to ski, but when you reach the end of the valley it spreads a lot and that terrain is really ideal for skitouring.
There is a very nice moutain hut Le Refuge de Fond (2324 mt) and due to its relatively high altitude is possible to ski until the beginning of May and even if there is a season with few snow. If you like to spend also a night in the lower valley take a look to this link, you’ll find some very nice options.
From Benevolo we have more than ten different skitouring tours! The most famous and well known are Punta Galisia (3346 mt), Punta Calabre (3445 mt) and Becca Traversiere (3337 mt).
Multiple tours are on glaciers and even if during the last seasons they’re loosing a lot of ice it’s mandatory to have glaciers safety kit for a good risk management. Since almost every tour is in high altitude and the slopes are mainly north facing, the snow remains powder for long time.
We’ve tours with different technical difficulty and we’ll choose together the ones that fits better to your technical skills and sure also we’ve to keep in mind the actual avalanche danger.
If tree days are too much and the organization became difficult we clearly give you the oportunity of organizing two days tour. The first day you can decide if you directly go to the refuge in the afternoon or we can start in the morning and already do a tour the first day. We also organize single days tous, you can have a look to this link where we offer tours also in other spots of Aosta Valley.
