Still going down in the valley that leads to the Col du Sommeiller, we stop to discover a vast alcove created by the collapse of a friable cliff.
 
 
1. The cavity visible on the other side of the torrent, at the top of a steep slope.
 

 
 
2. Here we are. Emile gives the scale.
 

 
 
3. I take this opportunity to “frame” the landscape…
 

 
 
4. Back to VivaLaVida.
 

 
 
5. VLV in the switchbacks of the track above the Scarfiotti refuge.
 

 
 
6. The surrounding mountains as the sun slowly turns West.
 

 
 
7. The valley below the refuge.
 

 
 
8. Wake up!
 

 
 
9. This is the period when the larches are all golden!
 

 
 
10. Rochemolle village.
 

 
 
11. Ascent to Colle Basset that we drove in the other direction this summer.
 

 
 
12. As we rise, the view opens up to the distance…
 

 
 
13. VLV on the trail above Colle Basset.
 

 
 
14. Valfredda valley.
 

 
 
15. Fort in ruins.
 

 
 
16. We sleep just above, with a superb panorama!
