The next day was to be our last this trip ... not having time to get to anything high, and the snow rapidly making the low level routes difficult. Additionally I was not yet confident in picking routes on the map and wanted the comfort of a route in a book. .. this would be something to work on the next year.
Opposite the camp-site was a little peak called Clot de Silva, and on an evening stroll we had seen a small sign at the bottom that indicated a via ferrata.
Later I would know this as the Via ferrata les Vigneaux, but for now it was a day out that promised a mountain route and some climbing.
It proved to be a much more "traditional" Via Ferrata with protection but only support on the really vertical sections, where a few rungs were cemented in
Another enjoyable day to finish off the trip
