French Trip - Day 5 - 18/5/13

Woke up with frost on my tent and freezing cold conditions, however once the sun finally revealed itself I defrosted. The morning was spent walking up and down the mountain slopes overlooking Ristolas before moving to one of the many Cols in the area. By late afternoon a huge snow blizzard had swept in, completely putting an end to our day. Night spent at the L'auberge de l'impossible hotel in Briancon.
