There is also a remarkable base camp of the working monastery at the Grand St Bernard Pass 2469m.The tours planned tours for this weekend present a physical and technical progression from our Jan & Feb intro courses with more ascent and some steeper touring terrain requiring a good kick turn, often the use of ski crampons, and sometimes boot crampons too.
