We have just got back from 5 days traversing the Gran Paradiso National Park (Aosta Valley, short hop from Italian exit of Mont Blanc tunnel). The route goes from Bonne in Valgrisenche to Pont in Valsavarenche. A couple of the traverses are more technical than previous routes we have done, for example we placed a fixed rope on one of the ridge descents and on two days the ski exit requires steep couloir skiing. I enclose a link to our vid, conditions great at the moment.

Hi Sam Alan Dovey here (Cornwall and hope you're well). I am very jealous of this as I won't get there this winter but I think the Aosta Valley marketing team would like this very much. Any objections if if I forward to them and allowing a link from their site:

Hi Alan
Good to hear from you. My Cornwall climbing trips have been few and far between but another one should happen before too long I hope! Feel free to send the link, very happy if it helps. We were on our own for most of the time except the last day climb of Gran Paradiso so there is definitely some capacity!
