Dondena - Col Fussy - Mont Glacier

A high-altitude route that from Dondena (2103 m), in the upper Champorcher valley in the municipality of Châtillon, climbs to Mont Glacier (3182 m) via the Col Fussy. With nearly 1100 metres of ascent at Expert Hikers (EE) difficulty, it leads above three thousand metres in a harsh setting of high meadows, scree and ridges. Dondena, a broad basin of historic alpine pastures, is the ideal base for this panoramic climb at the head of the valley. The summit of Mont Glacier dominates the boundary between Champorcher and the neighbouring valleys and offers, on clear days, a vast horizon. A route only for summer, with a sure foot, good fitness and settled weather.
