A great day out today! We went for a hike in the Vallone Bourcet, in Val Chisone – a snowy trail that elevated us of some 550m.
The day was windy and sunny, and we walked for nearly 4 hours, allowing plenty of time for pictures on the way :-)
We started well into the morning, our aim was to check if there were any icy waterfalls to climb, but actually the only snow we found was on the trail and on the mountain-tops… so, no luck for climbers there. After a couple of hours climbing up and taking pictures, we reached the village of Chezzalet where we stopped for a fruit and nut lunch :-D
The village is probably inhabited during the summer months as there’s a road that reaches it.
After lunch we started on our way back – unfortunately there wasn’t
the possibility of a round tour, so we had to retrace our steps.
Climbing down we noticed some interesting ice formations in the melting…
Now I’m a bit tired, especially my back, but I really enjoyed our walk :D
