Still unable to walk much because of my sprained ankle, we decide to go back up to the beautiful Clarée Valley that we had discovered last year in the same season and discover the Fontcouverte waterfall, taking advantage of the golden larches to take some pictures.
 
 
1. The Clarée River upstream from the waterfall.
 

 
 
2. Fontcouverte waterfall.
 

 
 
3. I’m playing to look for some compositions.
 

 
 
4. Variation.
 

 
 
5. In the morning, we’re almost alone at this season while in summer, it is constantly crowded.
 

 
 
6. A little further up the valley.
 

 
 
7. We have our lunch under a mountain pasture.
 

 
 
8. Last view of this beautiful valley before changing corners… Since last year, signs prohibiting wild camping have grown everywhere and the only campsite there is closed for the season.
 

 
 
9. After a few tens of miles, we are at the very top of the Vallon de l’Orceyrette, above the Chalets de L’Alp. We are completely alone there for a quiet bivouac at about 7,900 feet elevation.
 

 
 
10. We discover the surroundings of the camp. This bottom of the valley is still wild.
 

 
 
11. View looking north.
 

 
 
12. We enjoy a nice campfire to cook our meal there.
 

 
 
Continuation and end of this few days trip shortly! 😉
