Winter mountaineering

From December to May, the Mercantour massif turns into a high mountain groud, crevices and glaciers danger missing. All over the massif, the snow pack and the ice glisten and bring out original climbing routes towards the summits.

There are many possiblilities in mountaineering:
Snow routes : The slopes and couloirs of snow will enable you to put finishing touches to your stapling technique to reach sublime summits.
Ice routes : The gully of the Mercantour and the Argentera massifs are a good ways to directly reach the summits.
Mixed routes : During the winter, the Mercantour is a combination of snow and rock which creates an favourable ground for various treks!
Ridge routes : A journey on a tapered ridge is a trip full of thrills where we have the feeling of walking in the sky.
