    Superbe randonnée faite tôt le matin. Du coup j'ai vu des chamois , des marmottes et j'étais seul en haut du Sancy (ce qui n'était pas le cas pour les gens arrivés après 9h... une véritable foule...). J'ai adoré.

    Vielen Dank Philip Osselaer für diese tolle Wanderung. Wenn man das Tal verlassen hat und dem Puy de Sancy noch nicht zu nahe ist, geht man auf spektakulären Pfaden. Wir sind die Runde Anfang September 2020 gegangen. Da wir Hunde dabei hatten, gab es allerdings einige Probleme mit der Kuhherde, die im Tal weidet. Ich glaube die mögen keine Malinois.

    Sublime. Pour ceux qui ont le vertige et envisagent l'aller retour en cours de route, prendre en sens inverse pour profiter de la vue plutt que de la piste de ski.
