Courchons Loop


A big dump of snow yesterday meant that only low level hikes were sensible today (because of the avalanche risk). Snow shoes, hiking gear or XC skis? With hind-sight I think the skis would have been the best choice, but I took the snow shoes. It was a little deep for walking but not quite deep enough for snow shoes to be that helpful - so I got good practice putting them on and taking them off!  I did a loop up via Courchons and Moriez. Towards the end of the hike I went through a site where - during the week - foresters are cutting trees and making a right old mess. Looks as though they've had a bit of a parking problem….

A handful of other pics can be seen here.
