From Grand – Chamrousse – Masiv Belledone – Southern French Alps
In Chamrousse, I found myself again as a delegate. Before our arrival occurred over a meter of snow, so while looking for a place to inject our long bus - on a slope slides down slowly, Finally I get excavator drivers, odhrne commons which equal. People are staying, everything runs smoothly, weather is beautiful, Yet the trip is a large percentage of malcontents bitching and eternal. With that, however, can not do anything, it remains to let you spoil the mood and enjoy the mountains.
On Tuesday it's time to go up the hill - it offers the Grand Van 2440 mnm Grand Sorbier. In the morning I'll have one client with inflammation of the eye to the doctor. Then be exported and cabin lifts at the highest point of the Centre, gather on the opposite side of the lakes, meet the onset of an elderly couple (according vrásčitých about face 70 let). I ask for their opinion on Sorbier - lady seems quite expertly, points, that moment will lavinózní, end of the week it could go. With a roguish smile says, that the above passage is a good downhill, board says I have to give back to the output…
For today is the Grand Van. The old combs nandavají already taking - the slope seems to me very slight, However, the experience is not so now I will also iron . The path is well stepped down,first results in a slight rise in the rocky pass. Without crampons like the fresh snow utemovaném definitely slipping, I like, that I. Soon I was in the saddle. Trail turns slightly here on the plateau, bypasses some large boiler, rises before me a white slope leading up to the ridge. For two hours I was up, rocky top here nezlézá. Sure I take the view, cool weather and examine the opposite vertex Grand Sorbier, where I could go next. Top game look very steeply, Snow is in catch-up on the ridge at the moment really enough. Eat bread with salami, Meanwhile, there probably will succeed 10 skialpinists.
The following exit. The snow is no crust, prašanový no enjoyment does not take place. The steeper the top of my back edge of crust podklouzne, so go down a large part of my ass. A little to swear in the spirit of its soft splitboard, which is not well suited to the harsh alpine conditions forever. An interesting finding of the tracks, that can sometimes be a better experience than the output of their own exit…
