July 31, 2024<\/h3>\n\n

Refuge d’Arpont, 2,309m<\/h4>\n\n

We wake up at 5.15am and leave at 6.30am to try and avoid the thunderstorms forecast for the middle of the day.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

I feel I haven’t fully recovered from the day before, I’m tired and the climbs and descents of this balcony stage are heavier than usual. Fortunately, I have a shorter stage planned for today.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

After a few kilometers, I can’t see any path, I look at the map on my phone, I see that I’ve strayed from the track, I try to cut back to join what I think is the right path, but I can’t find it. I end up doing a complete half-turn to the point where I’ve lost the trail. Then I see another path that climbs steeply to the right. The Vanoise is very poorly marked, on the rest of the GR5 there were regular signs, but since I entered the nature park, there are hardly any signs or markers.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The rest of the route is fairly straightforward, a single path along the side of the mountain.<\/p>\n\n

I arrive at the Plan Sec refuge a little after noon. <\/p>\n\n

Bivouac possible<\/em> (6\u20ac)<\/p>\n\n

I’m happy to be able to stop at last, order an omelette, and also indulge in the blueberry tart.<\/p>\n\n

As soon as I finish eating, the sky begins to cloud over, the drops start to fall and the storm approaches. I take the opportunity to take a shower. After 30 minutes\/one hour, the weather improves and I pitch my tent.<\/p>\n\n

Bivouac at the Plan Sec refuge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Great place to spend the night, beautiful views, flat terrain, small, human-sized refuge, and very clean sanitary facilities.<\/p>\n\n

Around 11pm the thunder rumbles, and the deluge begins again, lasting for hours. A second night of not really sleeping, as spending my nights above 2,300m really doesn’t suit me, and the storm continues to follow me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
