Guided Glacier Hike to Pointe du Bouchet (Summer)

For the truly adventurous, guided glacier hikes offer a rare opportunity to explore the high-altitude glacial landscapes near Val Thorens, reaching summits like Pointe du Bouchet (3420m). These demanding full-day excursions require specialized equipment (crampons, ice axe, rope), which is provided by the guides. Participants must have excellent physical condition and previous hiking experience. Guides ensure safety on the glacier and provide expert knowledge of glaciology and mountain safety. Prices are significant due to the specialized nature, often €150-€300 per person depending on group size. Available mid-summer (July-August) when glacier conditions are optimal.
