Week-end initiation ski de rando dans le Beaufortain
Le ski de randonnée dans le Beaufortain, c'est un art de vivre !
Il fait d'ailleurs partie intégrante de la vie locale, jusqu'à la création d'une course mythique de ski-alpinisme : la Pierra Menta.
Depuis toujours les pentes vierges de remontées mécaniques appellent les skieurs à venir faire de belles courbes dans la poudreuse, d'autant que l'enneigement est particulièrement bon tout l'hiver dans ce petit coin de paradis.
Itinerary
Day 1Arêches - Roche Parstire (2109m)
Rendez-vous à Albertville en début de matinée. Transfert en minibus avec le guide pour Arêches Beaufort. Location du matériel si nécessaire, briefing sur le déroulement du week-end et distribution des pique-niques.
Ensuite direction le petit hameau authentique de Boudin sur les hauteurs d'Arêches d'où vous partez vers l'Est pour rejoindre le col du Pré à 1703m où la vue plongeante sur le lac de Roselend nous ravira. Depuis le col la pente qui va vers le Sud et nous conduit à l'arête : il faudra la suivre et ôter les skis sur une petite portion pour arriver à la Roche Parstire à 2109m. La vue à 360° est magnifique : la farandole des sommets et le Mont Blanc en toile de fond, que demander de mieux pour débuter ce séjour et se mettre en conditions.
