English breakfast. Good bread and lots of sweet stuff to. Basically, very delicious :-). This great coffee, really nice black and beautiful delicious - you can start the day. The cottage has night so also saves food and the bed was too soft.
morning at nine I left the Refuge and it went past the ski area "Valter 2000. Like all ski areas do not exactly pretty to look at if there is no snow.
Initially via a tarmac road, past the central point of the ski area, a small collection of buildings and shops / restaurants. Of course, all closed. A larger group makes getting ready to climb in the mountains. I'll get the Group and climb up. Last views of the ski resort of anything above.
Continue up into a big, overgrown with withered grass level. From there, continue east on a large plateau before the Roc Colom, the Pla de Coma Amada.
short time later, the Roc Colom is reached, with the last 2508m of the 2500m mountain over directly to the English / is French border. Interestingly, the rock of this hill is almost white.
The Roc Colom is on the far right, unfortunately, not completely in the picture. The path follows directly from the slope. The path is narrow and steep, but now is getting used to the altitude and the walking security given. The weather is dry and the stones are loose - so not really a problem:).
little further back on the trail Said virtually pure white stone. At first glance, one might consider it for snow / ice.
Fortunately, but no snow * g *. The path leads on forever on that long ridge along. In the distance appears a small dirt road, with the occasional off-road vehicles. Until then, it's still a long felsenübersähte plateau.
The path is endless and always follows the English / French border. At some point I overcome a comb and finally got a glimpse of the goal of tomorrow: Pic du Canigou:
The Pic du Canigou here shrouded in clouds. In all, more now on air. To reach the destination, the Refuge de Marialles still are a good two hours. I hope for good weather for tomorrow to take the alternate route on this mountain would be very annoying.
Further down the valley, but still high enough to qualify as a "difficult access" for car-drenched found funny as graffiti the Catalan independence movement:
The night I spend in a dorm with about 25 others. Some snore extreme. Fortunately, I'm tired enough to sleep.
begins at 06:30 the next day ...
