Laura

I discovered the mountains at a very young age thanks to my parents, who took me hiking every summer. Very quickly, I felt a disconnect between city life and what truly resonates with me: the mountains. Nevertheless, I pursued studies in biological engineering. A few years later, I decided to resign and embark on training to become a Mountain Leader (AMM), while simultaneously training in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga.

    The group will meet at 10:00 AM at La Roche Écroulée, at the end of the Guil Valley. After introductions and a gear check, the hike begins along the stream, in the shade of larch trees. Gradually, the landscape opens up and Mont Viso appears on the horizon. The climb, steady but sustained, leads to the Refuge du Viso, nestled in the alpine pastures. An optional hike to Lac Lestio is available at the end of the day. Dinner and overnight stay at the refuge.
