Ossola Haute Route
These photos show one of my most adventurous ski tours of the 2008 season, a tour from the Simplon Pass to the Val Bedretto. Running parallel to the more well known Tour de Soleil, this route stays on the southern side of the watershed, and as such attracts more than its fair share of snow!
As it happened, the wind and weather came from the north during this week, so colleagues operating in the Bernese Oberland were snowed out completely. Even in our more southerly area, we had some very challenging weather and conditions. It felt like a real achievement to complete the tour at all, due in no small part to the strength of character of the entire team from the Eagle Ski Club. The tour really had all the essence of ADVENTURE. See for yourself.....
