Gervasutti Couloir

The Brenva flank rises high above the Glacier du Géant, the Giant's Glacier, not far from the highest mountain in the Alps. To the east, on the Tour Ronde, is the mighty Gervasutti, probably one of the most famous couloirs in the Alps. A top-class destination for excellent skiers!

After a winter in Salzburger Land that provided us with some skiing highlights, it was time to crown the season with a few highlights on a trip to the western Alps. The big mountains were calling us, we heeded the call and made a determined pilgrimage to Chamonix – the Mecca of ambitious off-piste skiers on the afternoon of Maundy Thursday.
