Très belle randonnée en raquettes. Point de vue magnifique sur la nature à perte de vue. Le feu de camp dans la neige fut la cerise sur le gâteau.

Ts was a very windy day so we took a different route as planned, which might not have offered the views but probably was the more comfortable one for the day.

Le day trek ne dure finalement que 1h30. Avec une pause au sommet pour grignoter un sandwich. Beaucoup trop court.

Je n’avais jamais fait de raquette, c’est vraiment top, surtout dans un tel décor ! Un peu sportif, mais comme il faut.
