Itinerary description
7 day ski tour starting Argentiere (really top of Grand Montets after taking lift up). Stunning, very physical route with high passes. Staying in mountain huts along way, which are in fact comfortable, good food and very well run. Winter there is no running water except Mont Fort Hut, only place for shower in 6/7 days. There is also a summer hiking version of this route with a few differences in itinerary. Fantastic experience, never to be forgotten. See blog of trip at http://hauteroute2010.blogspot.com/
