\n1. After the Sommeillier, we reached the Pass delle Finestre. Arrived in late afternoon in a thick fog, we decide to sleep there in the hope of better weather the next day.

\nI wanted to continue by the Pass dell Assietta track but a municipal decree forbids access to vehicles from mid-June to mid-September. Undoubtedly the result of intensive attendance in recent years by groups of 10 to 20 4×4 mainly from Germany (these organized tours have become very popular with Germans who don’t have such mountains in their country). Therefore, we descent the southern side of the pass and do to Sestriere where we do some shopping to fill the fridge. Emile chose a succulent sheep’s cheese there after tasting it in the grocery shop!
\n 
\nWe go then discover the superb Argentera Valley, still wild on its upper part since a 4×4 is needed to access there.
\n 
\n 
\n8. We find a great boondocking spot next to the river.

\n 
\n 
\nIt is already Friday and I decide to cross toward the Pyrenees to enjoy these other mountains, knowing that I will land Emile in Corr\u00e8ze for the rest of his vacation in two weeks.
\n 
\n 
\n11. After half a day on the road, another boondocking spot in la Dr\u00f4me.
\n

\n 
\n 
\n12. Calm sunset atmosphere.
