A wild and sporting winter trekking in the heart of Beaufortain
The giant Gargantua is said to be the creator of Pierra Menta. Legend has it that he sent it flying with a kick from the Aravis mountains, located 30 km away. This monolith perched on a ridge has become an iconic peak of the Beaufortain and even gave its name to one of the most famous ski mountaineering races in the world. Fortunately, the slopes surrounding it are gentle and ideal for snowshoeing. In the heart of the massif, it will take 4 days to reach it and return, allowing for a small crossing of the range. Ideally located, the route offers beautiful views from the Mont-Blanc massif to the Écrins massif, passing through the Pre-Alps and all the Savoie mountain ranges
