FENETRE ARPPETTE

The tiny Fenetre Arppette, dwarfed by fine rock pinnacles

Super views of the Trient Glacier

The glorious Val Arppette

Glacier vistas all the way down

The stunningly beautiful and wild Val Arppette is one of the finest days on the TMB and Haute Route. The toughest route on the entire TMB. Not particularly for height climbed or distance travelled but for the terrain underfoot. You really do feel like you are 'in the mountains' on this day. Wild, rugged and equally beautiful. Do it on a sunny day and you will be rewarded with stunning views and a real sense of achievement. It was another one of those beautifuly atmospheric cloud days. The morning sun breaking through with swirling cloud. Magic.
