Colle del Grand Etret

Aosta Ovest highway exit. Follow the directions for Courmayeur to Villeneuve. Take Valsaverenche to its end in Pont.

From the parking lot, follow the level central valley heading South. After the first flat part (careful of any avalanches from the steep side peaks), the route starts to climb to the Grand Etret glacier. The second part is steeper to the hill.
From the hill you can also quickly cross the ridge to Testa del Grand Etret.
Descent down the upward itinerary.

Before your ski mountaineering trip, always check the weather forecast and the snow and avalanche bulletin and set off equipped with avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
