2/ Above the Embalse de Bachimaña Alto we met snowfields and rising before us was the chain of mountain peaks marking the border with France. Easiest crossing seems to be the Puerto de Marcadeau leading down to the Refuge Wallon. Still lots of snow though and crampons/ice axe are essential for a safe crossing. We relaxed and ate lunch by the lakeside before making the ardous knee jerking descent back to Baños de Panticosa.
