Gran Paradiso skitouring

Spent last week skitouring in Gran paradiso national park with Henrik Wehtje and Rickard Von Horn. Gran paradiso has alot of snow this year and very few trax... Excellent huts and amazing weather gave us an extra ordinary week of skitouring. We travelled for six days from the valleys of val savaranche, val de rhemes and val grisenche. Reaching peaks everyday above 3000 metres that gave us unbelievable skiing in fresh powder and almost no people.. the high lights was the benevolo hut and amazing staff, Gran Vaudala 3250m, pointe galicia, the italian food and hospitality and more..

Rickard (first) and Henrik climbing the last metres to the top of Becce de Traverserie

Last hike up to the Gran Vaudala.
