7-day Haute Route ski traverse in Corsica

During the winter, Corsica's Haute Route sees very few travelers and is almost deserted. We will be doing a sometimes "alpine" crossing, framed by the Tyrrhenian and the Balearic seas on both sides of the island.

It will be a week of ski touring to reach mountain ridges, summit Monte Cinto (2,706m) and discover small shelters nested at the bottom of the valleys. All of it, with the blue of the sea in the background.

One of the most beautiful wild ski tours in the world, this voyage to the colors of the south can be carried out at the beginning of the winter season. The slopes allow for beautiful descents and, depending on the level of participants and snow conditions, we can add several summits as we go. We will spend the nights at unserviced mountain huts.

This ski tour will also be an opportunity to learn or improve your avalanche skills. And, if you are up to it, we will do a real training in autonomous ski touring covering choice of route, choice of line, avalanche risk assessment and use of maps, compass and GPS.

This trip requires ski touring experience, especially in changing snow conditions. The distances, and the fact that most shelters are unserviced, make this tour unique. All shelters are equipped with a wood stove for heating.

Ski slopes are never steep (30° max. on very short sections). Sometimes, you will have to put crampons on for the last few meters before reaching a pass. In the same way, certain summit ascents end on foot.

This is one of the most beautiful wild ski tours in the world. It will be a pleasure for me to be your guide! I will be waiting for your contact.
