This walk has so many amazing aspects to it that it is hard for me to start writing about it!
The walk up from Fionnay has changed now that they have rebuilt the Bisse de Corbassière, it is a fabulous walk, you just have to get out of the steeeeep valley first.
We took our time walking up and met these black faced sheep along the way.
Sun-set & moon-rise on the Grand Combin from the Cabane Panossière. We had a delicious meal at the cabane. It may even be the best cabane food I have ever had!
The Cabane in the morning. We got up and took the path that crosses the valley to get to the Cabane Brunet. They now have a hanging bridge accross where the Glacier used to be, making it easier than climbing down a crumbly moraine to get there!
The suspension bridge takes you accross to the land of minerals and polished rocks left behind by the glacier's passage. It is quite a surreal area.
From here you see the top of the Glacier de Corbassière and the very bottom of it.
If you are lucky (or walking with me!) you will see Edelweiss growing over here. They were really fuzzy and fresh when we passed them.
