Night 4: Cabane de Prafleuri (2,657 m) 6 Mar 2021 Night 4: Cabane de Prafleuri (2,657 m) 6 Mar 2021 Haute Route, Prafleuri --

Cabane de Prafleuri is a fine place to have dinner and spend a night, though the surroundings are desolate, like a rock quarry at this snow-less time of year. After dinner we talked with the family we'd met earlier in the day, when crossing the river. We'd given them some stomach medicine from our first aid kit, for their son, and were happy to hear he was feeling better.

These times are optimistic. Louvie in 4 and a third hours? Maybe if you run. Certainly not if you stop for lunch or to take some pictures. Yeah, maybe it's the photo taking that slowed us down.
