SNOW & AVALANCHE – Gros-Châtillon

What is SNOW, what is an AVALANCHE ?
During this day, we will go to the Gros-Châtillon (1836m high) (bonus to the Croix de Javerne – 2096m high), a little pic from which we have a view of the Rhone valley, the Mont-Blanc and the Grand Muveran. During the walk we will do a « snow profile » activity and discuss the different types of snow and avalanches.
The walk will be in english ! Everybody is welcome!
