Ski safari ideas
I'm pondering the idea of a ski safari type adventure this coming
winter. I'll probably go with Freshtracks (the SCGB's travel company), as they seem to have a few interesting itineraries on offer. However, I just thought I'd post this to see if anyone has any interesting ideas for DIY safaris. For what it's worth my definition of a ski safari is a ski trip spanning several resorts with most or all of the travel by ski, but with the minimum of uphill skinning / boot packing - lets say roughly no more than 1 hour's uphill on any given day - the aim is to use lifts and roads to gain height (I guess that's the main difference between a safari and "proper" ski touring). Accomodation could be either hotels, B&Bs etc in the valley and/or mountain huts. By definition they involve a lot of off-piste skiing:-) Looking at the map and based on my fairly limited knowledge of the area it looks like there might be an intersting possibility of linking the Monterosa area / Macugnaga / Sass-Fee / Zermatt & Cervinia and then back to Monterosa. Is this do-able? I know with a heli-drop you can ski down to Zermatt and then back to Champoluc in a day but I'm thinking of a more wandering itinerary over a few days. Any suggestions....? Cheers, Steve |
