Hiking - Combeynot Lake

A blue veil has been lost in this mineral world.You will not find an  oasis in this desert of stones but a deep lake of freezing water. 

"In the middle of the summer, the valley exposed to the North can be very hot. That’s why I like to go out at sunrise in order to make the most of the cool early morning. just like the chamois who make the most of this calm moment in order to graze.. At 10 o’clock, most of them are sleeping and immobile, dozing and ruminating,you could almost say they are invisible!” 

Cyril Coursier, heritage technician in Briançonnais
