I chose a differrent area of the French Alps this year for my snowshoeing trip. The Ecrins is a national park west of the Vanoise, about 2 hours south of Grenoble.
I flew from London to Lyon, only Diego didn’t make the flight. He ended up flying to Geneva, so I drove the rental car from Lyon and met him there. Luckily this gave me time to go and visit Chris, Junko, and the twins…
Chris, Diego, and I were together the next day, staying in the very friendly Gite l’Aventure in the small village of Pisancon. Our host, Fabien, cooked wonderful meals each evening, and, helped by Angele. We were not alone in the gite; there was a very lively group of sixty-something friends, who took to singing loud soungs each evening over dinner.
The weather was tricky. We had rain near the gite, but heavy snow at higher altitude.
