Tour des Dents du Midi (Clockwise)
Part II

When I got up, the breeze had the lake looking almost yellow, but after breakfast, well...


We set off by 9.15 on
Salanfe - Susanfe
Dénivelée positive : 669 mètres (570)
Dénivelée négative : 501 mètres (400)
Distance : 7.22 km


Heading for the Col de Susanfe (2494)


Moo




The col was magical.


With a billygoat.


Refilled the water at Susanfe. Another great spot for a cabin.


Looking back up




Susanfe - Bonavau

Dénivelée positive : 92 mètres (40)
Dénivelée négative : 648 mètres (600)
Distance : 3.81 km

Dropped down towards the chasm.


Down the left side was the only option, steep path.


Far far down there was a bridge. Afterwards we would have to wind our way back up to the right.



Bonavau - Anthème
Dénivelée positive : 578 mètres
Dénivelée négative : 227 mètres (100)
Distance : 4.55 km

Bridge and footbath:




After which I was refreshed and ran uphill for 300m climb, which was kind of tiring. At least after another 200m climb there was an exceedingly refreshing swimming spot

and lunch, rösti.


Anthème - Chindonne/Les Jeurs
Dénivelée positive : 276 mètres (180)
Dénivelée négative : 716.3 mètres (610)
Distance : 11.26 km
Then it was around a bunch of ridges

to get back to Chindonne, where we joined the trail, just as the heavens opened. Fondue time!

Then a stroll back down, 300m negative.

Jogged maybe 2-2h30 today.
