A beautiful approach in the Combe Chauve forest for those who want to climb to the heights of Guillestre and cross the pink marble quarry without going all the way to the summit of Cugulet.
In spring and autumn, conditions can change, and even snow-free trails can be icy. As a result, the reflex in the mountains is to "go out well equipped". In my bag, I slip or I hang: crampons and poles.
In winter, the right reflexes are: snowshoes, poles, gloves, hat, sun cream and... a survival blanket! Experience is essential, and knowing when to give up is sometimes preferable to taking risks. And if you're new to the mountains, don't hesitate to call in a professional! Before going out, I check the Météo France Montagnes and BERA bulletins (risks and avalanches).
