We had heard about the Tré les Eaux valley for many years now as a “wild and scenic” valley that exited from our always favorite Vallon du Berard. In fact we hiked past the turnoff sign every trip and never explored it further…. after dropping the kids off at camp this morning, today was finally the day!
 |
| We had walked by this sign for years |
 |
| The climb started gradually through a lush forested area |
 |
| This swimming hole might be worth a trip back someday! |
 |
| Our first view of the infamous dihedral |
 |
| The view behind us kept getting better – Les Glaciers du Tour et Argentiere |
 |
| The Via Ferrata section wasn’t hard, but it was nice to have the gear in place |
 |
| This corner was a little exposed |
 |
| The Landscape quickly changed as we got higher |
 |
| Our first view of the Glacier Tré les Eaux with Mont Buet soaring above |
 |
| Looking back down the valley |
 |
| Mont Buet in all of its glory |
 |
| The going was slow between stopping to take pictures and hunting for trailside crystals! |
