Now
we are in France. After passing Val D'isere and crossing the
pass Col de
L'iseran (2764m) we arrive at the starting
point, Pont de la' Neige
2528m. The
parking place is visible down in the picture. Our target,
Pointe des Fours, is
visible up right. |
Interresting
stone formations on the way up, indicating vulcanic activity long ago. |

Soon we reach the snowfields, and they are
large. |
The
final part to the pass Col des Fours, 2976m. |

From
the pass we turn left, towards the summit. |
A bit higher, we meet some
people having problems passing a steep snowfield.
To avoid it, we climb
on the cliffs above. This turns out to be more difficult than
we had
imagined. At some places we have to be careful. On our descent we
choose
the snowfield instead, wich turns out to be quite simple... |

|
Apart from our bad choice of route, there are no big problems going up. |
Widespred
views in all directions, with crystal clear air. Here is Mont Blanc,
more
than 60km away. |

back on our climbing route. |
