Les Deux Alpes

Ski de randonnée depuis Bourg d'Arud

There are few routes for these valleys from Bourg d'Arud or Plan du Lac, but those suggested below will reward you with everything that makes them charming: wild beauty, secret valleys, few tracks... What are we waiting for?
To reach the Muzelle refuge, the first step before reaching your goal, you will have to stay a while under the forest cover and go back up the summer trail with skis on your bag. Of course, the climb can be long... But what a reward once you get there, what a setting of wild beauty!

HIKING SUGGESTION
– Muzelle refuge (2130 m) + 1200 m
WITH NIGHT IN REFUGE
Day 1: Climb to the refuge + 1200 m
Day 2: Classic routes from the refuge:
– Col de la Muzelle (2613 m) + 480 m
– Head of the Muraillette (3019 m) + 900 m
– Col Jean Martin (3257 m) + 1200 m
The Jean Martin pass is the gateway to La Muzelle on skis. If you want to reach its iconic summit, you will have to leave your skiing equipment at the pass and climb up in mountaineering style. Leave the refuge, reach the Chapeau Roux valley and set foot on the glacier. One last steeper slope and the pass is under your skis. This Saint Martin pass that can be seen from all sides from the valley will no longer haunt your gaze!

VENEON SECTOR
Once you enter the Vénéon Valley, you will be enchanted for life... It is a real hiking gem. The possibilities are immense and the beauty of the place will sometimes make you snowplough on the way down in order to better enjoy the landscapes...
Homeland of Father Gaspard, the victor of the Meije In 1877, the valley offers a rugged appearance with a tender heart that must be sought after by taking one's time. Once the legendary Bérarde road opens, the day possibilities multiply like the famous hotcakes and end late with high-altitude itineraries.
As for the possibilities from a refuge, they are simply endless. Here we offer you ideas to try without moderation, but you will see, ski touring in the Vénéon is like peanuts: once you start, you can't stop. So you can also invent your own sequences, decline an outing over several days, in a star from one of the Vénéon refuges, in a raid... in short, the spatulas quiver as soon as you enter the homeland of Father Gaspard.

Ski touring is a risky activity under the responsibility of each practitioner. Follow the ANENA safety instructions: anena.org
