Range upon range of alpine granite peaks up to 2,000m
Many unclimbed peaks and summits
Up to 1000m vertical height gain from base camps to summits
Fantastic spring ski touring and ski mountaineering
Major first ski and snowboard descent potential!
Superb rock climbing, comparable with Baffin Island!
Endless opportunities for new technical routes on steep alpine peaks
Excellent mixed climbing
Major potential for multi day big wall climbing
Ideal time to visit:
- March-early May for ski touring
