Last night was spent in an air-bnb room at Sylvie’s place outside of town. In the morning we were served breakfast – muesli with home-made yoghurt, fruit salad, home-made seed bread with butter and 3 home-made jams including milk jam. Robert also had an omelette, so we headed out well fed for our 2nd last day of hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally to the Refuge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First we traipsed through the town and, on our way bought a baguette and small quiche from the boulangerie. Then it was a clear path along dirt\/gravel road, through forest and then past farmland to the start of the ascent up the road winding around the Roc de la Peche. We had a view of Petit Mont Blanc which was just appearing out of wispy cloud, and then we pushed on for the quite steep climb of >1000m ascent, to finally reach Refuge de P\u00e9clet-Polset before midday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a well earned lunch and cokes, we explored a short walk to see a view of the milky Lac Blanc, and then returned to take advantage of the showers while the water was still hot. Tomorrow we have one fairly short climb before a long descent back to Modane, our starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
