Valley Walk, France

The clouds were still down, and we had enough of wandering up the pistes, and did not yet have the confidence to head into the unknown of the clouds, we chose to just go for a walk.

We headed out of town up the GR5, there was a vague thought to head for the refuge Les Sept Fontaines, but it was really a "see how far we get" kind of walk.

We followed the GR5 for quite a way up the valley under the Cote Jalabert.

We lost the path in the snow, and went up a canyon for a bit of sport, and to see how far we would get, before we were forced to turn around. About 2100m we turned around.

Making our way back we started to see clearer bits in the sky,, hopeful that this would mean tomorrow would be a better day. Things improved greatly after day and the light were shone on Janus opposite the apartment, making a great picture.
