Description

Traversée Nord du massif de Belledonne, du Rivier d'Allemond jusqu'au col du Cucheron. Magnifique par sa technicité et la verticalité des sommets qui nous entoure pendant l'effort.

La traversée débute au pied de l'escalier qui marque le début de la randonnée vers les Lacs des 7 Laux, à Rivier d'Allemond. Cela se termine au panneau indiquant le col du Grand Cucheron.

500m non balisés juste sous le refuge de la Perrière car c'est une zone de chasse. Le mieux est de privilégier un passage après 12h.

Description

The premier long distance hiking route in the area, perhaps the whole of Kyrgyzstan. Approximately 110km with 7350m elevation gain. Route crosses 7 passes above 3300m. Lots of beautiful views of the Tian Shan mountains and many pretty lakes along the way. The Eastern section is particularly wild and remote, don't expect to find much other than a few shepherds yurts. Western section is a bit more developed, from Altyn Arashan onwards expect to see more hikers. 

Typically the route is hiked East to West. However, there is no reason it can't be done in the opposite direction also.

Trans Canada Trail: YEG to YYC

Description

A long traverse from Alberta's major cities, the route connects two "Pavilions" along the Trans Canada Trail from Edmonton to Calgary. Distinct from the car commute along the QEII, this trail takes you across lesser travelled locations in central Alberta, east and west of the major highway, like Pigeon Lake and Acme. Route offers a look into the vastness of the prairie.
