Song Sounds Similar To Riverside By Sidney Samson

Lake Vei del Bouc

Finalmente domenica scorsa prima escursione in mountains of the season. The destination chosen was the Lake Vei del Bouc, altitude 2054 m above sea level, high Valle Gesso. Gorgeous day with crystal clear blue sky and perfect temperature (maybe a hot wire). Leave your car at St. James Entracque, you start to walk the road up to the Pra Rasour. The first part of the route is the same to reach the Refuge Pagar (my "big business" in the 2008 season alone). Once at Gias below Vei del Bouc, follow the path to the lake on the left, leaving the path on the right hand up to the refuge.
to be in mid-June, there are still major clusters of snow-even in relatively low-caused by avalanches and landslides. We seen several remains of chamois and ibex, the victims of this winter exceptional.

The route is not particularly difficult, with some stretch devastated by avalanches in winter when the path is completely lacking and you need to improvise. In about 3 hours walk you reach the lake, still almost completely covered by snow and ice. A frugal snack and then an hour of relaxation relaxed in the warm sun.
I was in good company, I hope this was the first of many walks together:)

It is just a "negative" Cookie stayed home. From Gias under Vei del Bouc access to dogs is forbidden: (
