🥾🔴 Hike: Le Piquet de Nantes 2214m with snow on top? ⛄❄
- 🔴 Hard for noobs. Very steep path with snow on top
- 🔵 OK for good hikers
The snow is melting fast 🌞🌨️. Let’s check if the peak “Piquet de Nantes” still wears a snowy cap 😄❄️. We’ll drive for an hour 🚗 and park at Les Taillis, right past Nantes-en-Rattier. That’s where our forest adventure begins 🌲🥾. We’ll be surrounded by trees for quite a stretch, all the way until we get close to the summit 🏞️🚶♂️. As we near the top of Piquet de Nantes (2214m), we might walk on snow, so gear up with hiking shoes 🥾. If we’re lucky, we’ll savor our lunch with a view 🍎🏔️. Post-lunch, we’ll slide down the slopes 🛷 until the snow bids us farewell. We’ll then follow the mountain’s ridge and re-enter the woodland realm 🌄🌲. Our journey comes full circle as we trek back to where we started, the parking lot 🔄🚙.
