REFUGE DE PRARIOND HIKE

Temperature this morning in van was 1oC but soon cosy with heater on. We drove a very short distance up the Col de l'Iseran and parked at Pte St Charles car park and hiked up to the Refuge de Prariond at 7611 ft, weather was good and quite clear but as we headed up towards the Col de la Galise at 9782ft we reached the junction at 9006ft, the cloud was so thick and raining we decided it was safer to turn around and go back. Such a shame we never made it to the Col at the Italian border but we wouldn't have seen any views.
We had a lovely hike, saw and heard lots of marmots and there were still some flowers blooming.
