Wednesday evening "rendez-vous" at Cabanne des Violettes - Rando Shop
The Meetup for Ski Touring Enthusiasts (or Great Hot Meals)
If you love ski touring, good food, and taking on challenges, don’t miss the Wednesday Tours in Crans-Montana, starting in January! Organized in partnership with Cabane des Violettes, these events offer the perfect mix of sport and camaraderie in an exceptional setting.
1. Two Routes, Two Challenges!
- "Hiker" Route: Start from the Violettes cable car parking, pass by Cabane de Bois (route #7), and reach Cabane des Violettes after about 1.5 to 2 hours of climbing. Perfect for those who want to enjoy a steady effort and beautiful scenery.
- "Elite" Route: For the more seasoned, this route takes you through Bella-Lui with a technical descent from Col du Pochet before reaching the cabin. A real challenge for thrill-seekers!
After the effort, it’s time for comfort. Enjoy a hearty meal at the cabin with an incredible view of the area and its starry skies. You can even spend the night at the cabin if the idea of descending seems daunting (be sure to reserve in advance). The warm, filling dishes prepared by Franck Reynaud and his team will quickly make you forget the climb!
Rewards for the Fastest!
Love a little competition? The best performer on each route gets a free meal at the cabin as long as their record remains unbeaten! A great hot meal, prepared by the incredible Franck Reynaud—isn’t that gold-level motivation?
