April 14–20, 2019, Ski touring through the Dauphiné

We were incredibly lucky with the weather during this year’s Dauphine traverse. Both the ascents and descents are steep and challenging. Firn snow is a must here, because if the snow is too hard, many of the descents are simply impossible to tackle. It can’t snow too much either—on a “three-day” trip, many of the planned crossings are simply too dangerous. Still, the Dauphine is well worth visiting, and it also offers a few alternatives should you ever find yourself unable to make it from one hut to the next. That made our joy all the greater at the end of the tour—we made it through “Inshalla” right on schedule, and in glorious weather and fantastic conditions!
