FENETRE ARPPETTE

 

The Fenetre Arppette 

Tuesday 6th September. 

Another cracking day on the Walkers Haute Route. 

Day 2 from Trient to Champex via the Fenetre Arppette is a fabulous section. A day of really being in the mountains and a good test for my group of 'what's to come' in the upcoming days. A tough day with a typical 'Scottish terrain' feel to the route. Highlights include the Trient Glacier,  a rock pinnacle at the col and a boulder field down the other side. 

First light on Croix de Fer
