Day 23 – Au Revoir Vanoise

Today, I hiked 29km, 400m down from my campsite, 1,300m up from the valley of Pralognon, over the col that leads out of Vanoise Parc Nacional, and then 1,300m down to a nice campsite in the woods just above the village of Modane, where I will resupply and calorie the hell up in the morning!

There was plenty to photograph as the environment went from dense pine forests, into grassy mountain valleys, and finally, a chaotic granite wilderness with glaciers all around, near the col at 2,800m elevation.

Cave camp!

Pralognon!

Look at this.

More glaciers

Weird cairn yard

An Isard!

3 waterfalls for the price of one!

Last photo before I descend into the forest and find a nice flat spot to camp
