Haute Giffre, 3rd to 10th June 2006


Welcome to the Haute Giffre




Three photos taken from the campsite,  Le Pelly, le Fer à Cheval.
I can recommend this campsite, it is right at the top end of the Giffre valley and the location is quite spectacular. There is plenty of good walking in the immediate area. I was originally planning to tour the Haute Savoie, staying at different places, but ended up staying at this campsite for the whole week.
