Trois Cols

Once again, the beautiful Argenitere basin

Col du Chardonnet


We took the higher col to enable us to ski in. Unfortunately, the snow was rock hard so we chose the comfort of the rope for the first 30m.

14th April: Trois Cols

Ricks last adventure on this holiday and my last chance to break him. This route is a classic, not much skiing for the amount of walking but always traveling through stunning scenery.

So Ricks splitboard quest is over. The consensus being... better than snowshoes, heavier than a ski set up, splitboard ski crampons are 'the bomb!'

Heading for the col du tour

Another party coming up, they ascended from the Col du Passon.
