The June heatwave is helping to melt the snow and clear the trails, so we're anxious to get back to hiking. Today's 18 km hike started by waterfalls, climbed forest switchbacks, through rock tunnels, up to a grazing plateau on the way to the rocky ascent to Pointe de Sous-Dine (2004m).
We stopped for lunch beside ibex before continuing on the rockier ridge loop. Some clouds and fog disrupted the view of the higher, still-snow-covered Alps, but the scenery was stunning and the trail speckled with a colorful variety of wildflowers.
