Itinerary description
Nouvelle randonnée à ski, avec un départ de Champex (Télésiège de la Breya). L'idée de cette rando à ski était d'aller le plus loin possible dans le Val d'Arpette, en direction du Col des Ecandies. Montée assez soutenue jusqu'au Relais d'Arpette, ensuite, il y a un long plat sur la piste de ski. À partir du 3e kilomètre, la rando à ski commence vraiment. Vous pouvez vous éviter cette première portion en prenant le télésiège depuis Champex (aller 14 frs) pour ensuite descendre jusqu'à cette jonction. Ensuite joli petite montée jusqu'au Pierriers d'Arpette, où je me suis arrêté, vu l'heure tardive. Le Col des Ecandies, ça sera pour une prochaine rando à ski, lorsque le manteau neigeux se sera bien stabilisé et que je serais mieux équipé.
New ski tour, with a departure from Champex (Breya chairlift). The idea of this ski trip was to go as far as possible in the Val d'Arpette, towards the Col des Ecandies. Quite steep climb to the Relais d'Arpette, then there is a long flat on the ski slope. From the 3rd kilometer, the ski tour really begins. You can avoid this first portion by taking the chairlift from Champex (go 14 frs) and then go down to this junction. Then nice little climb to Pierriers d'Arpette, where I stopped, given the late hour. The Col des Ecandies, it will be for a next ski trip, when the snowpack has stabilized well and I would be better equipped.
