The Grave Signal in ski touring

An iconic ski touring route offering panoramic views of the Meije massif, the upper Romanche valley, the Emparis plateau, and many other surrounding peaks.

Description

From Chazelet station, head towards Signal de La Grave via Côte Rouge.
Please note that the north-facing valley can be dangerous due to avalanches. Do not venture into this area.

Complément accueil

There may be ledges at the top. Be careful not to get too close to the edges.

Because of the risk of avalanche, we strongly recommend wearing full safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe).

Ski touring is a risky activity, and all skiers are responsible for their own safety.

It is therefore strongly recommended to hire a mountain guide to supervise outings in unmarked and unsafe areas.

It is also advisable to prepare your outing well in advance: consult the BRA (Bulletin d'Estimation du Risque d'Avalanche), check the slope gradient on the Géoportail slope map to avoid itineraries on slopes of over 30°, and check with the guide office to find out whether conditions are favorable.
