Alpes du Nord, Col de Méraillet, Saturday 13 June 2026

Col de Méraillet (FR-73-1605)

A brief photo report

Around thirty people turned up in response to Guy Harlé’s invitation on the shores of Lake Roselend. The weather was fine, though not too hot, and everyone was in good spirits over the light snack provided by the Club, which naturally included a tasting of Beaufort cheese.
Thank you to those who travelled a long way to be here, such as Pierre from Isère, Gilbert and Martine from Ardèche, and the chairman from the Vosges.
