A Room with a View

After an early morning food shop, we packed our rucksacks and made the picturesque drive to Pré de Madame Carle.

From here we hiked up to the Glacier Blanc and bivvied about 1km before the Refuge des Écrins (at approx 3000m).

The view of the Barre des Écrins was stunning. The night sky was so clear - I've never seen so many stars! After we ate our gnocchi, we climbed in to our bivvy bags and tried to get some sleep before tomorrow's adventure...
