Lovely valley surrounded by a bright palette of wildflowers, the squeaking of marmots and fresh breezes from rivers and waterfalls. The valley connects the refuge des Font de Cervières to the Pic du Malrif and le Lac du Grand Laus. The refuge offered delicious food in big portions, a shower and the possibility to use a blanket for the colder nights in a tent. The valley is for the moment on my top list for spotting marmots.

The Ruine Blanche ravine is a formation of gypsum that was deposited in the lagoons of the Alpine Ocean. The alpine ocean was a warm, shallow sea where corals lived (fossils from the Rochebrune massif in Arvieux). In the shallows swam ammonites (fossils from the pink marble quarry of Guillestre). In the lagoons were deposited gypsum (formation of the Ruine Blanche above the hamlet of Montbardon in Château-Ville-Vieille) and cargneules (Casse-déserte in Arvieux). Fossilized sea sands, wrinkled by the waves, still bear witness to a beach. The clay and limestone sediments deposited on the ocean floor were then transformed into shales by tectonic phenomena.
