Ascent: 950m
Weather: blue skies, fluffy white clouds, chilly
Set off at about 8:30am and followed the crosscountry ski trail to the edge of the woods at Pont du Moulin, then headed up though the trees to a large cross overlooking the valley and St Veran. The ridge (Crete de Curlet) up to Pic Cascavellier was beautiful, with views of the mountains.
We saw a few other snowshoe groups today, no wildlife other than crows and heard chaffinches and other small birds in the trees.
The descent off the ridge was via the same route we took up, and then we crossed a small wooden bridge and headed up a last steep path into St Veran. The gite is very pleasant with nicest food so far. We had green soup with baguette, lasagne and salad and creme brulee for dinner. There was a few rounds of Uno (much to Rob's disgust) and then bed (we have our own room again here.)
