As part of the ambitious “Outdoor Education program” at Repton School, we are always looking for new and unique challenges to stretch our pupils.

On the morning of the climb, I arrived 0330 at the small campground of Pont to meet IFMGA guide “Allessandro”. After a couple of swigs of hot coffee we set off at a brisk pace along the valley. It wasn’t long before we started to ascend through the forest and hike out of the valley leaving behind the cold damp air of the early morning.
