Col de Merciere - Isola 2000
The weather at the weekend was good so I figured I would make the most of it while it lasts. I haven’t hiked in the Haute Tinee region this summer so now was a good time to try. We drove to Isola2000, a local ski station during the winter, arriving around 12h30. This was probably about 1 hour later than we should have been there as the hike I had picked was estimated to be 5h30. Isola looks quite different with no snow around,
After just under 2 hours we reached Baisse Druos (2620m) This is the boarder with Italy.
After 40mins we were at Baisse de la Lause, the pass back into France. Then a long trek of almost 3 hours to Col Merciere. It was getting dark as we arrived at this col overlooking Isola.
Another 50 mins back to the car The full gallery is here
