Dent d’Oche

All of a sudden you just find that perfect peak that you just need to
climb. Dent d’Oche is that sort of peak, with a unique view over the
entire Geneva Lake.

To say that the view is stunning is the understatement of the year.
This is what turns up just like that on our way up. The mighty Mont
Blanc behind the faboulous skiarea and mountainbike paradise of
Portes de Soleil.

chamois

Some of the creatures we met do have incredible advantage in this
terrain over us simple humans. These Chamois or mountains goats are
the champion climbers of the planet.

And here is the explaination
The hosts are a mixed couple; she from Chamonix, Elise Cupelin Sherpa
and he from Nepal, Pasang Dawa Sherpa. They live up here all summer
bringing food and supplies almost everyday up the very steep and
sometimes very slippery route..Quite impressive.

Some parts of of the route have chains for your comfort and safety…

In the distance you can see le Petit et Grand Combin reknown for
being the Heliski spot for the locals of Verbier. Just in front Les Dent
du Midi right above Champery.

Local media

The front page of local press says that this mountain makes all
people overly excited. I cannot but agree.
