      Snowshoe the Cormet de Roselend

      18.6 mi / 2986 ft gain
      The Roselend mountain pass is known in the cycling world for being part of the Tour de France, but in the winter it is essentially deserted. There are a few old buildings, a small electrical station and you'll perhaps see some locals out for a ski, but my bet is you'll feel magnificently alone in...

      It is at the place called Chalet de l'Aulp (1424 m) that we began this walk. This is after the tarmac road terminus.
