Description

This hike in the Lavey valley is the perfect plan to recharge your batteries during 2 days. Join me in this high mountain environment for a refreshing adventure. The Lavey alley is in the Ecrins National Park.

You will be a guest in a protected location. This renders the mountain even more appealing in my opinion. in fact, we will get to fully enjoy the natural scenery.

Both on the first and second day, we can choose between two different itineraries.

We will share a pleasant night in good company with other hikers and mountaineers at the refuge.

The fact that the valley is very sunny is definitely a highlight of the trip. Moreover, we will see marmots and chamoix. Plus, the flora in the area is simply magnificent. During the two days we will enjoy the views over multiple glaciers.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
