Col du Balme to Trient
Backcountry Skiing Route
Details
0.68 mi
87 ft
A real treat with easy access, varied terrain and descent options.
From the Col drag lift hike to the Col de Balme. Access the col and ski the wide open valley all the way to Trient. This itinerary holds powder incredibly well yet is very exposed to all the avalanche terrain above on several aspects. The skiing is never very steep but beware of avalanche risk from the steeper slopes above you. The route finishes in Trient (Switzerland) from where you will need to get a bus back to Le Tour.
