Climbing, ice and<\/em> mythical peaks<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

The Pays des \u00c9crins puts major mountaineering races within easy reach, with Ailefroide as a base camp and a network of refuges (Glacier Blanc, Refuge des \u00c9crins) and schools\/guides to supervise all levels. You can start gently with initiations on the Roche Faurio<\/strong> or the Pic du Glacier Blanc<\/strong> (day trips), then go upmarket with the D\u00f4me des \u00c9crins<\/strong> and, in two days from Ailefroide, the ascent of the Barre des \u00c9crins<\/strong> via the Glacier Blanc, classics that combine progression on glacier and ridge. The Pelvoux<\/strong>, an emblematic summit whose first ascents have forged the Alpine legend, completes this range of great races. High mountain guides and courses also offer graduated courses to learn the techniques (glacier, cramponing, roped progression) in complete safety. <\/p>\n\n
