Day 7 - The Ice Falls of Valgaudemar
Parallel to the Champsaur valley is the spectacular Valgaudemar valley, a 22km long valley with 3000m+ peaks towering above you on either side! The choice of ice falls here is incredible!
A wild and natural valley with a real high mountain ambiance - a perfect location to end your week!
Your guide will help you choose which one would be a good one for you taking into consideration your progress and the local conditions so you can end on a grand finale!
There is the famous Le Voile de la Mariée which is situated just above the Gioberney refuge with a magnificent mountain backdrop. There is about an hour to walk in and 200m of beautiful ascent at grade IV/3+.
Or from the hameau du Bourg there is the Torrent du Bourg. To do this you have about an hour to walk in following a gorge before you attack the ice. It is 100m high and grade III/4 with an abseil descent.
Or from Le Casset is the 'Souvenirs inattendus" - unforgetabble memories! In good condition this is a classic! Another hour to walk in with 200m of ice climbing at grade III/4. Abseil descent.
Again you'll be out for the full day and away from shops and civilisation so a good stash of supplies needed!
