While setting up camp, I badly sprained my ankle. Despite the ointment applied quickly and a bandage to try to succeed in putting the foot on the ground, I will have to revise the plans. Damn! Here I am forced to give up a hike planned in two days. So, after having slept just under Fort Jafferau, we decide to take a look at this fortress in ruins.<\/p>\n

1. South portal or what’s left of it…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Here, canon battery bases with the arcs indicating the directions of fire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. And one of the many vaulted chambers which likely served as cantonment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Bird’s eye view of an alpine pasture below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Panoramic view of Ecrins mountains to the West.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Descent to Bardonecchia via the northwest side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. We take advantage of the afternoon to discover the Vall\u00e9e Etroite (Narrow Valley) straddling the Franco-Italian border. The enfilade towards Mount Thabor is magnificent with the fall colors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Opposite, by where we arrived.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9. The river that carved out this valley, called Narrow Valley Stream<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10. I take advantage of varying the compositions since I can hardly walk. Variation 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

11. Variation 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

12. And one last before leaving to do some grocery shopping in Bardonecchia and refuel VivaLaVida since the strikes in France make the refill difficult.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rest with a return into the Clar\u00e9e Valley in a few days. Thanks! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
