We are the July 12. Starting at 8 am after a breakfast of coffee, pancakes and dried apricots. We descend by the path of the notochord, reported as difficult. Fortunately the weather dry and everything goes well for us. Fairly quickly, we see emerging in the breach of Dérochoir, waiting for us in a few hours.
In the meantime, we enjoy a very flowery path, with a few lilies martagon.
we reach the hamlet of Ayers, where we entrust to a couple of very nice people our mail for children who are currently summer camp. Thank you to them, the letters have arrived!
This time we climb towards the Dérochoir, and cliffs are impressive.
Finally, at the foot of Dérochoir, I put my sticks to be an unnecessary here, and we attack this part of the course, very well equipped with ropes, ladders and iron footboard sealed in wall. It's almost climbing, and with heavy bags it's best to go down that!
At the top, we discover a new view, the valley of Sales, left with the early Platières and right of the rocks Fiz we'll work around for 2 days. Here's your chance to test the widescreen format.
For now, we left a trail toward the balcony Portette neck. From the pass, we hesitate to descend to the refuge of dishes for our supply of water: It only remains for us a liter and we know that the desert is aptly named: no source for miles. We rely on our good fortune and leave flan, as the Castles of Cran, head for the desert Plata, where we meet our first goats.
This karren impresses us by its breadth and the depth of the crevices.
Suddenly in the middle of the desert, springs the cable car station of the Great Platières, linking Flaine to the summit at 2500 meters.
At 17 hours, the station is deserted but we find that the entry lock is available. After a little time for reflection, we believe that we would be more comfortable shelter when it starts getting cold, and we settle for the night.
The problem is that with our freeze-dried meals and a few drops of water, it will be difficult ... Fortunately, we are at 2500 meters and a nearby snowfield we will make soup!
Around 20 hours, we are surprised to see a guide to Flaine on his bike: It is warm in the lock with us, we described the surrounding mountains, then starts downhill, warmly dressed. We decide to wake up early the next day so as not to be surprised again by the first tourists of the cable!
