Trekking in Torres - Day 3

The wind had been roaring in the trees most of the night and the temperature had really dropped so we were not surprised to find that it was snowing.  The plan had been to head up Valle France for the day, the middle part of the W, as it was reputed to have great views.  The clouds were low, the wind was blowing and the snow falling but we went anyway – the thought of a day in the damp camp didn't hold much appeal!

Snow here, sun down there

The beech forest protected us from the worst of the wind

All rugged up and glad of it

Camp Britanico had a 'shelter' of branches - glad we weren't trying to camp, but spectacular views

The back of the towers, visible between the snow showers

Back down to camp and the weather seemed to be improving, at least lower down

Looking back up the valley from the bridge by the camp - French Glacier

Much better bridge quality than Argentina
(might be something to do with the huge numbers of park visitors)

The imposing Los Cuernos
