Cogne, Aosta Valley – Prehistoroc Escapade CAF Perpi

Antoine, Romain, Daniel et François.

We were thinking of going on an ice cream spree with Daniel at the end of the Christmas holidays. I talk about it with Rom at the beginning of December who is keen to accompany us, Antoine will complete the team. We meet three CAF clubs from the bottom of the department (Tautavel, Saint-Estève and Perpignan) to procrastinate on our destination. Grrr, nothing is formed, everything is dry ! We are starting to doubt going to lick ice cream. The Pyrenees, Gavarnie's webcams show us a circus that looks sad ; A cell, it's dead ; the Hautes Alpes, the high-society (understand Savoie), not better. Then it starts to leak on some forums that things are going up in Cogne, the mecca of the genre. A bit far, but OK, comme d’hab, go !

Nice trip. Need to get up very, very early to be the first to reach the bits of ice. Nothing or almost nothing is in condition in Europe, except a few things in Austria. All the glacionauts of Europe are in the area. Nice meeting ! A little too much perhaps, it works well. Great welcome from our Italian neighbors, good wine from the Aosta Valley accompanied by Fontina. And as a return trip gift, the south face of Mont-Blanc…
