June 5, 2023,Lacs de Petarel - Lacs de Sebeyras - Col de Petarel - Torent de Prentiq

A nice hike in the mountains of the Ecrins massif, the first during my Holydays here, with some nice lakes Lacs de Petarel, Lacs de Sabeyras. There was still a bit of snow above 2200 m which made the hike a bit more heavy. The col de Petarel was also nice and not too difficult
