== 🥾🔴 Snow hike: From 🏡 Chalet de la Charmette to 🗻 La Grande Sure ==
🔴 Hard hike. Hiking is snow is exhausting 😅. Be sure to have warm winter hiking shoes, why not ski pants, ski gloves 🧤 and hiking gaiters to prevent snow ❄️ entering your shoes.

Bundle up in your warmest gear 🧤🧣, as we embark on a snowy adventure! We'll drive 🚗 for 50mn and park near Col de la Charmette 🏡 1261m. Our hike begins in the forest 🌲, climbing up straight until Col de la Grande Vache ⛰️, where a stunning viewpoint 👀 awaits, offering a panorama of the snowy mountains ⛰️🏔️. We'll continue our hike 🚶‍♂️, soon climbing up in the snow ❄️ until we reach La Grande Sure ⛰️ 1920m. After marveling at the view 😍, hopefully we can slide down on the snow 🛷! To continue our loop ➿, we'll make a stop at Refuge d'Hurtières 🏡 1555m. Then, we'll climb up again until Col d'Hurtières ⛰️ 1725m, and finish our loop back in the forest 🌲 and return to Col de la Charmette 🏡.
