Rocca Bianca walks

Here, the names change from white to black with great dexterity. Indeed, the passage from Queyras, Refuge de la Blanche, to Ubaye is via the Col de la Noire. Original, isn't it?

Fifth stage with the recommended ascent of Pain de Sucre.

A very long day criss-crossing the border. But what breathtaking scenery! And you won’t be bothered by the neighbours... there’s little chance of coming across other two-legged creatures. But perhaps some ibex, vultures, including (apparently) a pair of bearded vultures.

The fourth stage takes you towards the Italian border, offering beautiful views of Mont Viso.

Beautiful stage, green at first, covered by neve at the pass then very floral in Guil Valley.

High mountain stage. Progress within a mineral setting. A hike up to the highest pass of the trek. Stunning view over the Pô water sources from "Sentier du Postier."

This stage involves a pass with neves and crossing Refuge du Viso high berm then Guil valley.

This Italian stage of the Mont Viso circuit presents no particular difficulties. You will discover its wild high valleys dotted with high-altitude lakes. You will cross a few scree slopes before reaching the Sella Quintino Refuge, near Lake Mont Viso.

Via the Grand Canal, now completely disused, a long crossing opposite the Grande Tête des Toillies, ending at the Refuge de la Blanche and then at the observatory car park.

This is the first stage of this journey, half in Queyras and half in Ubaye. Follow the right bank of the Aigue Blanche, then continue along the Col de Saint-Véran trail, before enjoying a beautiful descent that leads to the lake and the Refuge de la Blanche.
