Just back from a two-day hike across the Beaufortain Massif. I had completely forgotten just how much fun micro-adventures without a bike can be, as it’s been a couple of years!! Staying in a high mountain refuge… being warmed by a roaring log burner and cups of tea, playing cards and board games, whilst its -10C and snowing outside.
It was incredibly peaceful, relaxing and put a massive smile on my face.
A friend and I set off late morning for the short 3-hour hike to get to the Refuge before the weather turned. The Refuge du Presset at 2514m was home for the night, and after a light snowfall through the evening, we were treated to a magical sunrise over the Pierra Menta come the morning. After breakfast, we set off on a longer 6-hour hike via Lac Roselend. Beautiful weather, wildlife, views of Lac de Roselend and Mount Blanc, fresh air and exercise… brilliant
