Orestes Hut Jan 2020
This Club Meet was held 27th to 30th January 2020 at the comfortable Orestes Hut situated at 2600m, on the fringes of the Gressoney ski area. The hut was only built around fifteen years ago and has great facilities (including a yoga room!) and serves vegan and vegetarian food. An attempt was made on the Punta Giordani before the weather broke - limiting options to off-piste within the ski area. On the final day the weather improved and a party ascended the Colle dela Salza.
