La Fontaine du Vallon

Highlight • Natural Monument

October 4, 2022,Pic de Bure par la combe d'Aurouze et la combe de Mai

Grenoble Lus la Croix Haute Veynes then departure from the Sauvas gite. Ascent to the Combe d'Aurouze and descent to the Combe de Mai. Magical 360 view from the top but I also found the visit of the plateau interesting with all these antennas and this snowball fight 🤣
