14km, 885m height gain, 740m height loss, 8hrs 20mins
walking
This was one of the most spectacular days, starting when we
woke up with the valley full of cloud and us being treated to spectacular views
of the mountains poking through. The day started with the Sentier des Chamois
which is a narrow belvedere path which curves around the mountain high above
the valley. The day also included three cols, Col Termin (2648m), Col de Louvie
(2921m) and Col de Prafleuri (2965m). There were a number of snow crossings and
we also crossed the Grand Desert which is an amazing glacial terrain complete
with glacier. We stayed in the Cabane de Prafleuri having seen no other signs
of civilization for the day. The cabane was interesting with even the lights in
the dorms coin operated.
Wow! I didn't realise you'd get to go trekking across the snow! You've done so well, I'm very proud of you both! Loved all the photos 😊 xoxo kit
