Itinerary description

Les Prioux (from Pralagnon) - Lac Blanc - Refugi Peclet Polset and return. Clear, signed trails though I took a “short-cut” from the GR to Lac Blanc on the way up. This alternative also follows a clear trail though there is no sign or marker at the intersection from the main trail. I did flag it on my route map. Looped back past Refugi Peclet Polset. Beautiful views, not a technical trail but obviously some physical fitness required.
