Ailefroide Orientale and Pelvoux, 4 days in the Ecrins

Let me invite you to a beautiful and exciting adventure up the incredible Ecrins. Join me for a great 4-day adventure to discover this beautiful corner of the French Alps.

The Ecrins is the highest massif in the southern Alps and it comprises the Ecrins National Park, which attracts 800,000 tourists a year. It is one of the best places to practice mountaineering, since it is still free of cable-cars and big buildings.

For this adventure, we’ll meet at Ailefroide. Our meeting point is located close to Briançon and is usually the base for mountaineering expeditions to Barre des Ecrins, Pelvoux or the Ailefroide peak.

During this four-day adventure, we’ll ascend one of the Ecrins’ highest and most iconic peaks: the Eastern Ailefroide. We’ll also attempt to accomplish the Pelvoux Traverse, an incredible route to the glaciers of the area. You can check the itinerary below for more information about this trip.

This trip is recommended for mountaineers with some experience in the mountains and in good physical shape. Make sure to review the list of items needed for the trip. Additionally, I can also help you if you have any doubts choosing what to pack.
