I park my ca not far away from the ski station of Vallter 2000 and pick up the GR11-trail climbing
|
|
to Refugio de Ull de Ter.
|
|
On the first Col, this view back
|
|
and this view to the route ahead.
|
|
There are streams and here and there opportunities for a bivouac.
|
|
Further on, having arrived at the borderridge
|
|
and Col des Neuf Croix in view
|
|
and getting closer
|
|
and closer.
|
|
Bm510.
The original bordercross was lost for many years but in 2013 replaced by this granite marker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A view towards NĂºria.
|
|
Zoom-in
|
|
Looking back or in the direction of the GRPdesBF
|
|
|
|
I return on the same route = the GR11-trail.
|
|
First following the borderridge
|
|
but then descending into the valley,
|
|
making a large half-circle
|
|
and passing
|
|
this simple shelter
|
|
The view from the shelter.
|
|
Isards
|
|
Then continuing to a coll,
|
|
passing streams like these where the terrain is flat enough here and there for a bivouac.
|
|
From the Col a view in the direction of Refugio de Ull de Ter
|
|
and the mountains of the next GRPdesBF-stage.
|
|
Zoom-in to Porteille de Mantet (bm511).
That's the end and beginning of two GRPdesBF-stage.
|
|
Further on
|
|
this zoom-in
|
|
to the summit of
|
|
Pic de Coma Armada or Puig de la Llosa.
The GRPdesBF takes a route underneath that summit at the French side.
|
|
Coming closer to
|
|
the Refugio de Ull de Ter
|
|
with a watersource outside.
|
|
Then a steep descent to the road
|
|
with besides the trail some spots suitable for a bivouac (besides a stream).
That's important because further on, up to Porteille de Mantet and on
the next stage there are no sources and no bivouac-spots close to route.
|
|
When back at my car, I drive to the ski-station to see where you can pick up the trail to Porteille de Mantet.
Well that's here,
|
|
around a building
|
|
which is behind the main building.
This picture shows where Col de Mantet is.
|
|
And this is the GRPdesBF-route at the ski-station.
