Saturday 08 JUNE solo! It takes place on the second half of the Grand Trail, over 64 km AND 45200m D+/-, starting in Espinasses, halfway along the Grand Trail. Here, you’re “under the lake”, downstream from the dam, in the villages that served as a base for its construction in the late 50s, before it was impounded in 1961. Starting in the heart of the village of Espinasses, you begin with a vertical kilometer with Mont Colombis at the start, then the long descent to Chorges with the Ecrins as a mirror in the background, then the sumptuous climb to the Col de la Gardette then the Aiguilles de Chabrières, before climbing the infernal Mont Guillaume on its wildest side. Finally, a descent to Embrun and the joy of the arrival at the water’s edge!
