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.
