Re my earlier post, Andy Teasdale has found someone to switch weeks so the free space is now available for April 17-24th.
This is a great offer if you can fit it in. I was booked on a hut to hut Tour of the Valais region from Haute Nendaz, taking in parts of the heartland of the Haute Route area, guided by Andy Teasdale. Due to work pressures I can't take the time off so I have to drop out. My place is available at a discounted cost of £200. (I paid £300, so will subsidise £100) You would need about 600 SFr for huts and food over the week. Usual touring equipment needed, Standard is Touring Intermediate, good ski ability Off Piste. The trip is part of the Eagles Ski Club programme, but you dont have to join the Eagles to join this group. Here are the details:
This tour is aimed at those who have recently completed the “Introduction to Ski Touring” training course recently, and are looking to undertake a first tour. It is also suitable for those who would like an interesting and exciting tour to refresh their hut to hut ski touring skills as we undertake a six day journey with five nights spent in huts. The journey starts in Nendaz and follows variations of the Haute Route in a fantastic circuit that finishes in Les Hauderes. Guided by Andy Teasdale IFMGA. Date: 10th – 17th Apr 2010
Standard: E2 (Normal hut to hut tour, 800-1200, ascent/day) S2 (experienced off piste skier) M2 Limited Mountaineering experience - should be able to tie in to a rope, carry ice axe and crampons)
This is an ideal week for keen and adventurous skiers to develop their hut to hut ski touring skills. Off-piste skiing is an integral part of ski touring, therefore it is advisable that you have a reasonable standard of off-piste ski technique. On some days you can expect to be skiing all day, carrying essential kit, so a good level of fitness is recommended.
Sat April 17: Meet in Evolene at a hotel to be arranged. 7pm.
Sun Taxi to Nendaz, then ski to the Prafleuri hut via the Rosablanche.
Mon Prafleuri hut to Dix hut via Pantalons Blanc and Pte du Vasevay.
