Skiing and climbing photos – galleries from adventures and expeditions

Driving to Le Contamine in the morning we got a good view at Dom du Miage and the glacier du Armancette where we will come down tomorrow.

We started of in the Contamine ski area over the col du Fenetre, from where we also got a good look onto our further ascent towards Pain du Sucre.

After the ski down from the col du Fnetre it is time to put our skins back on and keep walking.
