Trail to Chalets de Tavaneuse

Highlight • Trail

Steep and wet ascent. The path is in the shade for most of the day, so it is very slippery in places. Luckily we just had to go up and NOT down it. Up went well, down would have been much more difficult!

A tightrope walk - it's easy to walk because you don't have to walk on the edge. ;-)
