August 28, 2025,WTC Briançon Dag 5: Puy-Saint Vincent & route Ailefroide naar ‘Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle’.

Beautiful route. Passing the village of Les Vigneaux and the Croque Loisirs campsite (just past Puy-Saint Vincent). Vallouise is also a beautiful place.
I met Jaap in Vallouise, so we climbed to Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle together.
A steep climb: 8, 9, and 10% for the last 3 km.
