Well it finally stopped snowing sometime Saturday night. Sunday morning was bright and clear with half a meter of fresh powder beckoning.
Of course avalanche conditions were near their worst so we chose a forest route up to a pleasantly sloping Alpine pasture.
The start was from the car park at the Sambuy ski station above Faverge a short drive from the house. From here one simply follows the signed track which winds it’s way up through the forest. When you reach the pasture the farm can be seen sitting high in the center of the cwm.
The sun was warm and we enjoyed a pleasant lunch before our exhilarating return down the fluffy slopes.
