Tips
About the Col des Ayes, I wrote in an old notebook:
“At 2,477 meters above sea level, I reach the Col des Ayes which separates Briançon where I will go tomorrow and Brunissard, a small resort left behind at noon. Despite a wind worthy of the gusts of Brittany, I take a break to observe the mountain. Eyes riveted on the compass, I quickly analyze the path traveled over the past two days. I recognize the massif on which rests the Saint-Simon Chapel where I spent the last night. But above all, I observe about thirty kilometers away the sumptuous Bric de Rubren and its 3,340 meters, proudly climbed two days earlier.translated by
