イントロの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ17

L'Alpe Grandes Arpillesは、Vétanの盆地に位置する標高約2090〜2137メートルの高山牧場です。かつては多くの小屋がありましたが、現在はほとんどが遺跡と化しており、Punta LeysserとMont Fallèreの麓に広がる広大な牧草地を見下ろす、開けた支配的な場所に位置しています。Chatelanazから曲がりくねった農道を通ってアクセスするか、または小川を渡った後Thoulesから直接斜面を登ることで到達できます。この高山牧場は、Mont Fallère小屋へ中腹を横切って続く農道との交差点を示しており、ハイカー、スノーシューハイカー、スキーツアー客にとって自然な交差点となっています。樹木はこの地域ではまばらになり、やがて消え、冬には広大な雪原へと変わる草地が広がります。展望は広く開けており、南にはGrivolaとGran Paradisoの頂上が見え、空気が澄んだ日にはモンブランも見ることができます。

Nice, even driveway with enough distractions along the way! 🙂

Its extraordinarily panoramic position offers a glimpse of the valleys of Cogne, Valsavarenche, Val di Rhemes, Valgrisenche, as well as numerous peaks and reliefs, of which Becca di Nona, Mont Emilius, Pointe de la Pierre, Grivola, Ciarforon can be recognised. and Becca di Monciair (these last two in the distance), and the Rutor glacier.

From here starts the path to the Mont fallere refuge, an open-air museum of wonderful wooden sculptures

Here you have the opportunity to fill up your drinking water at a spring. The location consists of a shelter and nearby inhabited huts with stables for livestock. Very nice distant view of the snow-covered mountains opposite.
