Day 3 - the col des Terres Blanches - 2700 metres
An early start today - leaving camp at 8.30. Eric will take you to la Vire de Touet through a beautiful hidden valley - hardly used by tourists.
Then you will rejoin the ancient transportation path leading to the col des Terres Blanches which picks its way through dramatic rocky surroundings.
There's a great picnic spot just before the col where you can often see chamois.
After lunch you head down through a much more open and forgiving landscape.
Just before you reach your camp at the Grande Cabane (2200m) there's a narrow passage to negotiate. Don't worry though - its more likely that the donkeys will need help navigating it than you!
You should reach camp at about 5pm where you can rest your legs and tuck in to a well deserved meal.
