up to another col – La Portella (2410m asl)
border stone …and bad weather in Spain?
lovely ‘ridge’ walk along the border, interrupted by a washed out (but dry) river bed
Refuge de la Porteille de Rotja
changing between grassy and rocky ‘ridge’
mystical mist… but unfortunately no long views
smiling rock showing the way 👋
and someone left their heart on the trail
horses in the mist
perfect timing for a comfortable lunch break at Collada des Roques Blanches (2252m asl)! (…if it wasn’t for the rather cold wind and mist)
just before Refuge de Pla Guillem, running away down into France from the Spanish thunder storm rolling in over the Canigó massiv
Maison Forrestièr de Mariallies (1718m asl)
dinner in a basic but comfy atmosphere

21,7km, 600m ascent, 1015m descent, approx. 6h.
