Ski touring on the Izoard pass

A not-to-be-missed ski touring route along the groomed piste to the Col de l'Izoard. This gradual ascent allows you to ski in an open setting, while offering safe access to the pass when conditions are favorable.

Description

From Le Laus de Cervières, take the wide groomed track to the Col de l'Izoard.

This trail is shared with cross-country skiers and snowshoers.

Follow the trail to the pass, passing the refuge Napoléon: depending on opening times, you may be able to eat there.

Complément accueil

Because of the risk of avalanche, we strongly recommend that you wear 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 inclination of slopes 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.
