le lioran was wonderful. lou wanted to take the camper for a test drive before the long haul to romania, this year's holiday destination, all being well.
the day was sunny and warm, just right for walking and what became climbing! flowers, butterflies and lots of buzzing and clicking things accompanied us as we walked up the valley of font d'alergon looking for a path we discovered some christmases ago when we took the boys up to visit. we found a path and walked to our left hoping it would rise. it didn't and took us back down to the near the car park. however we spotted a sign to font de la cere and took a path we had once trudged up on our raquettes. we crossed the ski run several times and arrived at the auberge de buron. timely as we were thirsty by now! a pause for cold drinks noticing at the same time that there was another signposted path/ski run to col de romiere, 2 km, rising 240 metres. we decided to go for it despite my knees and, happily, the steepest and stoniest part was the first bit so then it was a moderate climb to the col. several family groups came down and i wonderd why they looked so fresh. all was explained at the top! they had taken the telesiege up and walked down! a good idea for next time?
