The 2 of us set off from Pont de Nant on 1st August, heading for the Cabane de la Tourche. No sooner had we started walking than some heavy clouds rolled in and it didn't take long for the rain to start pouring down on us. So we decided not to go over the Col des Martinets and to take the alternative route so as not to take any unnecessary risks. We took a short break at the Euzanne mountain pasture where we were very kindly welcomed by the son and then by the parents and their impressive Newfoundland! Once we arrived at the Tourche hut, we rushed off for the delicious tart of the day and cookies. What a treat! The next day we set off for the Lui d'Aoùt refuge via Bella Creta. The scenery is magnificent. On the 3rd day, we hiked from Lui d'Août to the Refuge de Dorbon, with a stopover for soup at the Cabane Rambert. For us, this day's walk was the most beautiful in terms of scenery and probably also the one that required the most effort. The Dorbon refuge was a magnificent discovery. An absolutely peaceful place, run by beautiful people. You feel right at home. Before the meal, a mentalist was there and blew us all away with his most improbable tricks. On the 4th and final day, we left Dorbon for Pont de Nant. With a coffee stop in Derborance, followed by soup in Anzeindaz. This tour was a feast for the eyes, the calves and the stomach. The entire route is very well signposted - and well done to those who maintain the paths! What a job! 🙂 The rain was there intermittently but didn't stop us walking as planned. A word of advice: don't take the sandwiches offered by the huts for lunch, but stop along the way at one of the refuges for a soup, a cold plate and/or a tart. It's much better! Collapse
