    A very nice, quiet place to camp! Water was plentiful.

    Presence of low stone walls to shelter from the wind and bivouac there.

    Hiking

    We set up camp for some wild camping at Source de Marmitou, the serene headwaters of the Marmitou river. Reaching this spot meant a solid couple of hours trekking uphill through rugged scree fields before dropping down into a quiet, hidden valley. Surrounded by jagged peaks that look remarkably like corners of the Dolomites, it’s an unbelievably peaceful site, perfect for pitching a tent, enjoying the silence, and drifting off to sleep under a sky full of stars.
