Day 1 : Climb to the bivouac site
From 200 to 500m of D+ 1h30 to 2h of walking
Departure briefing at 10am at at the cross-country skiing centre on the Glières plateau. This moment will be the occasion to check the equipment of each participant and to distribute the material for the two days to be distributed in our backpacks (min 70L).
After the departure briefing, we start our ascent towards our bivouac place. We will evolve between forest and alpine pastures off-trail, in a virgin and preserved environment. Then, the view opens up on the surrounding mountains. It is time to find the ideal place to set up our bivouac. In the afternoon, we will build our snow shelter, make a table in the snow for the meal, enjoy the evening colors while making the aperitif, share a good meal and enjoy the show that nature offers us.
Night in an igloo.
