June 9, 2026,🇨🇵 Nationalpark Écrins - "Prapic ↔️ Wasserfall Saut du Laire"

Today, our second hike directly in the national park. We encountered marmots from Prapic. Again and again, shrill whistles can be heard 🦫 on this loop in the Drac Valley.
Spring is in full bloom and a roaring mountain stream plunges down into the valley. A natural spectacle that leaves you speechless. Luckily, I took enough photos. 😅
