Neouvielle Lakes Trek

This week saw our Discoverer level guests do a three-day mini trek into the Neouvielle Lake District, guided by MountainBug Director Rob.

We were also delighted that our Explorer level guests were up for a challenge and joined the others on their second night in a refuge. Our chalet hosts, Vic and Geoff, and MountainBug Director, Martin, went along too. Martin is training for his International Mountain Leader, so the group benefited from having an experienced qualified guide (Rob) and a trainee.

The snow is also receding, allowing everyone to climb up high in the Cirque du Troumouse yesterday, where the trumpet gentians are now very much in bloom.

Today our Explorer level guests did a relaxing 5 hour walk through the villages in our valley (most of it is downhill – easy!) while our Discoverer level group went up the Pic du Viscos.

All in all, an adventure filled week with most of the MountainBug team getting out there too.
