Entreves Traverse

Finally winter has left the alps again! With the new snow the mountaineering routes are in amazing shape. Yesterday we took the 6:30 bin up the Aiguille du Midi and marched arcross the Valley Blance to the Aiguille d'entreves. We traversed the route right to left. Really nice conditions all day.
