| Arriving in Vergons |
A week of mistral weather is predicted and today was the first day. Cold, snowy, sunny and beautiful - a hike was called for. Actually, with the windtalkers showing 80 Km/h gusts on the summits, a low-level hike was called for. A big loop S, to Vergons, then back along the Lac de Castellane to St Andre gave me a pretty full day. As the day went on, the inversion weakened and more of the meteo wind reached ground level - I was glad to find a sheltered, sunny spot for my lunch. Up high, you could see snow being blown over the ridges, where it would be forming windslab on the southern faces.
